Bonn, December 31st

Ahoi!
2018, you have been quite the ride.
And as you are drawing to a close, I think a moment of gratitude is appropriate.
Thank you to each and everyone who bore with me while I tried to figure things out and to everyone who still supports me in doing so.
Thank you to everyone involved in the making of the album and the release: I would have had nothing to show for myself if it hadn’t been for all of the talented musicians, my producer, my friends, awesome performers, dancers, hands-on helpers, organizational wonders, the concert venue and the sound-and-light-guys, the BUSC, my family, my band, my boyfriend, people who talked or wrote about the release on the radio or in newspapers, on facebook, etc., anyone who gave their feedback and Lena who designed the album artwork. 
Thank you to my patrons for supporting me financially and emotionally on a regular basis. I am humbled by you spending your hard-earned money on me.
Thank you to whoever listens to my music. That is insane.
Thank you for letting me do what I love.
I’m wishing all of you the best for the coming year(s).

And now, off to new absurdities.
2018, you have not always been easy on me. But I am so happy you happened the way you did.
2019, get ready. I’m coming for you.

So many wonderful people helped make this baby happen, I am lost for words and happy and proud and at peace with the world right now.
If you want to listen to the album, you can do that either on Spotify, Deezer, Amazon, iTunes or any other streaming service of your choice, or you can write to me and I’ll mail you a physical copy!

Bonn, September 20th

Ahoi!
It is happening, people.
On October 11th 2018 my first studio album will be released to all digital outlets, as well as in physical form. You can get the latter straight from me, right on the release date, because there will be a big-ass party!
Starting at 8 pm at the Brotfabrik in Bonn, there will be a ton of special guests, art, music, dance, other surprises and me performing with my live band for the first time!
You shouldn’t miss it if you enjoy the concept of „fun“.
Hope to see you there!

Ahoi!
So here’s something cool: I’ve joined the Patreon community!
What’s Patreon?
It’s a type of crowdfunding website that allows you to pledge a certain amount of money to a creator that you like each month. In exchange, you get access to all kinds of great stuff that this creator makes available to you.
In my case, you can choose from behind-the scenes-footage of the album production (and my life, haha), personalized postcards that I will send to you once a month, exclusive cover versions of songs that you choose, live-streamed private concerts and even songs written for you about a topic of your choice!
Here’s a little video about it:

If you are interested in supporting me, here’s where you can do it:

Clara’s Patreon account

The cool thing about Patreon is that it’s a way to secure a predictable monthly income for artists while keeping their supporters involved in their creative work. I support a few creators myself, each for a little more than the cost of a cup of coffee, and I really like the things I am getting in return.
So if you consider supporting me – thanks a lot! It means the world.

Ahoi!

Here’s a little something I worked on recently – a title song for a book! A book about pirates, to be precise! Fucking pirates!
„Hilke und der Fluch der Weser-Wut“ is about Hilke, a little boy with curly hair and a love for reading. One day, he discovers an old book written about one of the most famous pirates of all time: Klaus Störtebekker. The story mentions a curse threatening the entire city of Bremen and Hilke soon understands that there might be more truth to this old tale than he initially thought…
But you know, no spoilers. You’ll have to read it yourself.
The book was written by Marco Dzebro and illustrated by Matthias Holländer. You can find the story, background information and my song „Home to You“ right here on the official website: Weserfluch
See you soon!

Ahoi!

So. I’ve overcome my laryngitis and was able to play a few shows in the past few weeks. I spent some time writing new music and working on existing songs in the studio and I am generally very hyped and happy about what’s to come. So stay tuned. 🙂

Also, we just released a music video with one of my band projects: The band is called Call Me Papa and our track „Doors“ can be found on YouTube, if you follow this link:

Lastly, if you’d like to come to any of my next gigs I’ve added a few in the corresponding section on this site. It’d be so cool to see you there!

Bonn, March 6th

Alright.
So this is breaking my heart, but I’m still unable to sing. Unable to speak for longer periods of time, to be perfectly honest. So I had to cancel all shows for this week until (and including) the sunday gig in Bonn.
I am very sorry, but there’s no other way. I miss all of you already.
