What the fans say...

Sounds like "vocally infused acoustic instrumental pop played with the soul of the singer/songwriter." ~ Jennifer Gritt, Fan, Portland, OR

"At Harmony Cafe we have had literally hundreds of bands and performers play shows. Without a doubt, one of the favorites of ALL of our staff is Love, Claire. Beautiful singing, nice songs and a sense of humor and flat-out the nicest people to work with! We always feel honored and fortunate when Love, Claire plays a show at our place and we always look forward to their next visit!" ~ Shannon Kenevan, Director, Harmony Cafe

"Love, Claire always puts on an exciting, orginal and entertaining performance. You will not be disappointed after leaving a show, especially if the fan favorite 'Baby Got Back' is played! Love, Claire makes you want to get up and dance acoustic-style!" ~ Melinda Hoffman, Fan, Burlington, WI

Each and every heart-felt tune is auto-biographical, so be certain to grab yourself a comfy chair to lounge in, wrap yourself in a blanket of lyrics and memories, and enjoy the music.  Because, afterall, their music, these songs, these letters will forever be addressed to you.

The two members of Love, Claire met up college in 1998. They hit it off, and thus began the collaboration. Several years post-graduation and incense-filled rooms, among posters of Tori, PJ, Bob Dylan, and Ani - years after dorms evolved into apartments and houses, and classes turned into full-time employment, Anneliese and Luke revisited the idea of starting a band together. After many forced ideas for their band name, they received the pleasure of their very own happy accident:

Love, Claire.

Anneliese currently resides in Chicago, IL while Luke can be found enjoying the sweet life in Door County, WI. While Anneliese plays most shows solo in the Chicago area, they continue to collaborate on music and lyrics and perform live as often as their schedules allow.

Feel free to check out the band's pics and songs and be sure to drop them a line on their contact page. Enjoy!
