Claire Hitchins

Artist-in-Residence, Featured Artist, SOUP Grantee

Claire Hitchins is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who released her debut album in October 2016.

Claire’s homespun musical sensibility was fashioned among the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, formed as much by the deciduous forests and swimming holes of her home state as by the traditional songs of the American South. Her simple, soulful folk melodies weave a musical fabric that is at once spacious and intimate. Claire's self-produced EP, People, Look East! was featured on the blog of On Being in December 2015.
