Debut Single from Cork Songwriter, Clare Sands

Clare SandsClare Sands is a 20 year old musician, composer and songwriter based in the vibrant musical city of Cork. Having spent the summer of 2013 playing around New York City and making beelines into the NYC music scene, Clare is gearing up to release her debut single ‘Change Is A Comin’ on April 4th worldwide via iTunes.

With deep roots in Irish traditional and folk music her music emanates from these family traditions, combined with her love of Jazz and the Blues. ‘Change Is A Comin’ is Sands’ first single, and the song really captures Sands’ unique voice and gritty lyrics, which demand the attention of the listener. Accompanied by her backing band The Cranes, the song presents a unique texture which recognises Sands’ influences, whilst presenting them in a new and energetic way.

In support of her debut single Clare will be hitting up Ireland with a 15 date tour, accompanied by fellow songwriter and harpist Aisling Urwin. The quirky blues/folk duo have fifteen dates in venues around the country, followed by dates in Holland and Germany in the early summer.

Discussing the release of her brand new single, Clare said “I feel beyond excited and proud of it. A pleasure to play with such amazing musicians on it.”
