歌手简介

简介：by Margaret Reges

Clare Muldaur, the daughter of musician Geoff Muldaur, established herself as an idiosyncratic indie singer/songwriter before she officially joined forces with the Reasons, releasing two solo albums, Sweetheart and Bentley Circle, in 2002 and 2003 respectively. She teamed up with her husband Olivier Manchon (whom she met while studying jazz composition at the Berklee College of Music), bassist Alan Hampton, cellist Christopher Hoffman, Beth Meyers, and Grig Ritchie to form Clare and the Reasons sometime after she released her solo albums; multi-instrumentalist Bob Hart was brought into the fold soon after the group finished recording their debut full-length. That album, The Movie, hit stores in 2007; featuring cameos by Sufjan Stevens and Van Dyke Parks, the album was comprised of the kind of quirky, jazzy, indie pop that welcomed comparisons to artists like Lullabye Baxter and St. Vincent.
