Claire Lynch (born February 20, 1954) is an American bluegrass musician, singer, songwriter, and producer. She is a three-time winner of the International Bluegrass Music Association's Female Vocalist of the Year honors.[1] She is considered one of the two best female voices in bluegrass, a recognition she shares with Dale Ann Bradley.[1]

Early life

Lynch moved to Huntsville, Alabama from Kingston, New York, when she was 12 years old.[2] She grew up in a musical family, with her mother playing the piano and her father singing.[3] She had two sisters with whom she would sing, including doing trios at church. In high school, she spent time writing and recording songs.[3]

Career

Lynch's musical career transitioned during college when she became interested in bluegrass music. She joined a band called Hickory Wind, which eventually changed its name to the Front Porch String Band.[3] Lynch played with the group until 1981, when it retired from the road. She then pursued a dual career of music and raising a family. The Front Porch String Band reunited in 1991, releasing the album Lines and Traces.[3]
