Currently residing in Manlius, Clove is a local songbird that has started to make a name for herself in the music scene in Syracuse. Leaning more towards an acoustic-indie sound, Clove is best known for playing in small coffee shops and cafes downtown and in the surrounding areas around the city. Her songwriting addresses topics that aren’t usually mainstream, such as self esteem, being single and friendship struggles. She is hoping to expand her repertoire this year and perform at bigger venues in the summer. Mainly, she hopes anyone who listens to her songs can connect to at least one, helping them feel like they’re not  alone in their hardships. Clove released her first EP last year and put out 2 singles this year. In the future, she plans to collaborate with more local artists, drawing inspiration in order to further develop her songwriting and refine her sound.

Hi, my name is Cloey Tierno, and I’m an 18 year old singer/songwriter from Cortland, NY. I’ve always loved singing and writing songs. I had my first opportunity to get into the studio at 15 years old, where I would begin implementing production into my songs for the very first time alongside Chris Merkley and Gabe Cummins. About a year later I had a finished product– my debut album, “i fell in love with the rain.” I was met with an unexpected surprise when I walked away from the 2023 SAMMYS with the award for Best Pop Recording, and I still couldn’t be more excited about or grateful for the whole experience. I strive to write songs that tell an authentic and relatable story, and ultimately make them into something that I can be proud of and others can connect with. I plan to move forward with the making of my second album this winter. This was only made possible by my generous supporters within the community that helped me to achieve a successful Kickstarter campaign that was launched for the project this past November.
