CLARE MALONEY & THE GREAT ADVENTURE

New York's Clare Maloney is one of the most distinctive, powerful and emotive voices in rock & roll today.  The internationally renowned singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has shared the stage with members of The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Starship, Allman Brothers Band, Hall & Oates, Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band and more. 

Before transitioning to rock and roll full-time, Clare trained extensively and toured as an opera singer, appearing multiple times at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Town Hall, Symphony Space, 92ndY, National Sawdust and at concert halls throughout Europe and Asia.  

Hailed as an “Artist You Need to Know” in 2023 by Relix Magazine, Clare Maloney & The Great Adventure have been bringing their joyous mix of good vibes and great tunes to audiences across the US since 2021. The band released their self-produced debut album “Daybreaker” to rave reviews in December 2022. The album title stands as a sly ode to Maloney’s decade-long battle with writer’s block, and triumph over it; night gives way to day, just as the multi-instrumentalist and former opera singer broke through in 2021 to write over 100 songs, flawlessly blending rock, alt-country, americana, folk, funk, the great american songbook and more. Highlights from their 2023 breakout year include a 60-date, self-booked national tour with a handful of very special shows supporting Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Phil Lesh & Friends, The Wailers and Bailen, and sit ins from members of Goose.  Their new EP, “Reckoning” is due out summer 2024.
