Multi-instrumentalist and Singer-Songwriter, Claire Timmerman, recently returned to her home town of Cincinnati, OH, after several years of living in Paris, France. There she studied Jazz and vocal music at Paris VIII Université and began touring internationally as an independent singer-songwriter, performing at some of Europe's acclaimed festivals and venues . Claire's debut album, "Between Worlds", is a compilation of her original work which includes special guest musicians from all over the world. Aside from her original self-titled work, she has performed guitar, cello, and violin in multiple diverse projects in both the United States and France, this has allowed her to work in a wide range of genres from Rock and Blues to Sudanese-American Jazz fusion. Her sound is a soulful, eclectic blend of Jazz, Rock and Neo-Soul all colored by raw Blues undertones.
Musically inspired by the diverse sounds of Ani DiFranco, Ella Fitzgerald, Erykah Badu, Ray Charles, Bobby McFerrin, Tito Puente, Madeleine Peyroux, Janis Joplin and Bonnie Raitt, Claire Timmerman has developed a unique style which remains truly her own . From neo-soul to blues and rock, from the deep south of New Orleans to France, Claire Timmerman is a self proclaimed genre basher! She describes her music as " a mosaic of every place I've ever been and every place I've dreamt of going".
