CLAIRE HEYWOOD
Claire Heywood is a singer-songwriter and recipient of the Sonic Guild Grant. "If her sonic resonance had an aesthetic, it would be a homey mix of 70's-art-deco and modern-country sentiment."(Out Front Magazine)
​
Her past performances include sets at Boulder Film Festival, Jazz Aspen, Snowmass Rendezvous, and Film on the Rocks. Heywood's 2019 EP "The Wind it Howls" was called "a gorgeous debut...relaxing and captivating." (Culture Magazine) ​
​​
A new full-length record "Water is All I See" releases May 1 2025, with singles "Somebody's On To Me," "Alone Woman" and "Secret Ancient Signal" out now. ​​
"Her lyrics are cleverly-written and relatable. During her performance, she shared with the audience the story behind “Good Information, Bad News”, where she recently discovered a genetic disposition for breast cancer. As a cynic with a recent scare, I felt the walls around my heart begin to soften throughout her show. By the time Devotchka finished the title track of How It Ends, I was completely in shambles. In the best way possible." The Coloradist, Devotchka with Claire Heywood at The Bluebird
​​"It’s easy to see why Heywood quickly became a voice that many folks were drawn to...As graceful, poised, and confident Heywood is in conversation, her music offers a further vibration of eloquence that easily transports us to another plane." Out Front Magazine
"Claire Heywood makes the kind of propulsive music that plays well at festivals. Her lyrics are evocative and imagistic, which reflects both her literary background and her musical influences. These include Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, and Lucinda Williams, the latter of whose presence is especially felt on the gothic-tinged “Old Soul’s Motel.” Country Queer
"Heywood’s casually charismatic delivery of the lyrics is reminiscent of a less angsty Courtney Barnett, but her brassy and mature vibrato sets her apart." Two Story Melody
