About this Event
Clare Maloney & The Great Adventure are bringing the era of windows-down, roadtrip rock & roll straight into the playlist generation. Relix magazine named the band an "Artist You Need to Know" in 2023, calling their debut LP 'Daybreaker' “stunning” and praising its “brilliant vocals, rocking band and polished songwriting. ” The album title stands as a sly ode to bandleader Clare 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 to write over 100 songs in 2021, flawlessly blending rock, alt-country, americana, folk, funk, the great american songbook & more.
Clare’s powerful and emotive vocals are rooted in her early career as a classical singer, performing at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and throughout Europe and Asia. Despite success in the opera world, Clare felt the magnetism of the rock & roll music she grew up on, and daringly transitioned from the classical stage to become a first-call session and touring vocalist, sharing the stage with members of The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Starship, Allman Brothers Band, Hall & Oates and the E Street Band along the way. Since 2018, she has toured as a vocalist, guitarist and flutist with The Englishtown Project, The Airplane Family and Deadgrass & Friends. As a writer, Clare's unique and unmistakable voice is shaped by classical literature, poetry, and the sounds of her native New York – from Tin Pin Alley to CBGB's to Broadway and Brooklyn.
Her electric band, The Great Adventure, features Nate DeBrine, who co-produced Daybreaker, on guitar and vocals, Russ Gottlieb on bass and electric banjo, and Caleb Estey on drums and vocals. The band supported their “Daybreaker” release with a 50-date national tour in 2023. Highlights from their breakout year include openings slots for Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, The Wailers and Bailen, pre-shows for Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Phil Lesh & Friends, and Aimee Mann, and sit ins from members of Goose. Most recently, they opened for The Bacon Brothers featuring actor Kevin Bacon. Their highly anticipated follow up EP, “Reckoning,” is set for release in early 2025 with new songs due out this fall.
