“Official Claire is one of her generation’s finest songwriters. The Chicago Reader praised her combination of “sensitivity and straight talk.” Former Wilco member LeRoy Bach says, “Official Claire is my favorite new songwriter. Her songs possess deep wit, and mischief, and all those swaying hooks!” Her live band includes Bach, as well as Brooks Palmer and drummer Quin Kirchner.
Claire is also a calm shredder of guitar! The Singleman Affair called her a “stunning bliss/drone sorceress.” On her most recent release, Midnight Dickbiter, Claire played and engineered the majority of instruments. The beautiful collection maintains a celebration amid darkness, and generosity amid the mundane.”

One of Murray’s best and busiest songwriters, a community staple and organizer of all things weird and thoughtful in sound. This will be Melanie’s first performance at Wits’ End since the release of her latest LP, “It’s A Beautiful Day on the Troll Farm”!
See you there!
