Clara Mann’s latest EP, Stay Open, is a collection of alt-folk ballads born from a feeling of being in
perpetual transition. Clara writes songs about the restlessness of life in your early twenties and the
immense power of optimism in dark times.
Her music usually begins in her drawings, or in short fragments of written text, in which she finds the
first lines of songs. Inspired by the likes of Edith Piaf, Tom Waits, and Judee Sill, Clara likes to tell
stories and paint pictures, without ever giving too much away. She loves to lean into the strange and
the mysterious – but never compromises on tenderness.
After a busy year of shows including support tours with Daniel Rossen (Grizzly Bear) and
Skullcrusher, Clara has spent the last few months working on her debut record, with which she hopes
to throw herself into her music more than ever before.
