Singer-Songwriter
Singer, songwriter and self-proclaimed optimist Claire Kelly has been on a mission to brighten every corner she steps in with the music she creates and Nashville is taking notice. In the last 9 years of living in Music City, she’s garnered major songwriting contest accolades (American Songwriter, NSAI, Bluebird Cafe), primetime television/film placements(ABC Network, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Hallmark TV), and several international tours.
Her song “Tapestry”, a song about people who change you for the better, won the Bluebird Golden Pick Songwriting Contest in 2022 and in the fall of 2025 she was named an American Songwriting Contest winner. A lighthearted anthem about being kind to strangers, “Drunk Girls”, placed her in the Top Ten of the 2024 Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) songwriting contest. She’s also been a finalist in the Kerrville New Folk Festival, Songwriter Serenade, and International Songwriting Competition thanks to her songs “Dandelion Wine” and “Running Out” from her 2022 album, The Scenic Route. Through songwriting showcases Backstage Nashville and Bluebird on 3rd, she’s shared the bill with legendary Nashville songwriters like Shane McAnally, Josh Osbourne, Tony Arata and many more.
Claire’s touring schedule ranges from critically acclaimed festivals to concerts in living rooms and everything in between, opening for acts like Colbie Caillat, Ashley McBryde & 49 Winchester. She supported her latest album, Can’t Start Loving You Again (October 2024), with a European tour through Belgium, Germany, Poland and Denmark. The release includes her song “Together Again” which was used in the trailer for Sundance award winning film, I’ll Be Your Mirror. Claire’s music has also been heard on ABC Network, Max, Hallmark TV, the hit Netflix series Love is Blind, and Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu.
When not on the road, she writes with other artists in Nashville, performs regularly on Music City and teaches songwriting workshops at The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Her next recording project is currently underway with Grammy Award Winning Producer, Brandon Bell, set to release in the summer of 2026.
