Hailing from the salt-kissed town of Saint Andrews, NB, Claira Blanchard is an 18-year-old singer-songwriter who writes like she’s gently handing you a flower with one hand and stealing your breath with the other. Her lyrics drift in soft and whimsical, then sharpen just when you’re not looking, a habit shaped by personal stories and influences like Joni Mitchell, Rose Cousins, and James Taylor. She first captured listeners in 2023 on the Paddlefest stage with Rose Cousins and has since been playing festivals throughout New Brunswick. Claira’s melodies are warm; balancing tenderness, and her and unmistakable raw sound. With each song, she builds a world that feels half-dreamed, half-familiar, and wholly sincere.
