Singer, composer and self-proclaimed optimist Claire Kelly moved from Milwaukee to Nashville in 2016 and pursued a full-time career in music and composition. Since then, she has toured the world and sung on prime-time TV shows, and most recently won several composition contests through the world-famous The Bluebird Cafe. Nashville quickly became a home.
Claire has written for movies and TV over the past few years, and her music has been featured on ABC Network's Station 19, HBO Max's 12 Date of Christmas, and her song "The Art of Let Go" has recently been featured on the Netflix series Love is Blind. As an independent artist, the Nashville Songwriter's Association (NSAI) recently interviewed her success in the synchronization licensing world. In 2020, she was selected as the finalist of the Kirville Folk Festival "Grash Hill New Folk Songwriting Contest" and "Composer Serenade" Composition Contest in La Grange, Texas.
Claire liked to share her songs and stories with people all over the world. From concerts in the living room to critically acclaimed festivals and everything in between, she opened for performances like Colby Kayla, Anderson East and 2019 American Idol winner Maddie Poppy. She has also performed at festivals across the state, such as Milwaukee's Summerfest, Kirville Folk Festival, Muscle Shawls Songwriter Festival, The Lightfest, Steel Bridge Songfest, and Mile of Music.
Claire Kelly - Dandelion Wine
lyrics
Watching the sunset on Tennessee hills
Wish I could capture it, I never will
I'm not a painter, can't stay in the lines
Just sitting here, sippin' on dandelion wine
It's starting to rain but I don't feel a thing
Just sitting out rockin' on that old porch swing
I found me something that tastes like spring time
Sitting here, sippin' on dandelion wine
All my life I've known
Some things you can't control
You can make plans but they'll change on a dime
Pour me one more glass of dandelion wine
Preachers and dreamers they both believe
In the patterns and powers that we can't quite see
You can spend your life guessing or look for the signs
Just sit back and sip on that dandelion wine
All my life I've known
Some things you can't control
You can make plans but they'll change on a dime
Pour me one more glass of dandelion wine
Pour me one more glass of dandelion wine
You can make plans but they'll change most the time
Pour me one more glass of dandeli
