Clare began performing in Australian pubs when she was sixteen years old. In 2005, the head of EMI Australia John O’Donnell saw her performing in a small Sydney pub. He went on to offer her an extraordinary licencing deal, the likes of which will never be seen again. Clare went on to release the ARIA Award winning What Was left, which followed on so beautifully from where Autumn Bone left off. There were still some honest singer/songwriter moments; there was the same not-quite-fathomable instrumentation with an unassuming originality, an incredible narrative sensibility and an uncanny ability to tell stories as achingly personal as they are beautiful and joyous. But somehow the whole game had been lifted up a notch, and the media and public reaction to this showed. Source: www.clarebowditch.com/about/
