Claire Lynch

Claire Lynch joined her first band, then called Hickory Wind, in 1973. After changing its name to the Front Porch String Band, the group worked regularly, becoming fan favorites on the strength of their open-minded musical approach and lead singer.

By 1981, despite a handful of well-received albums, the band had tired of the grind and called it quits. A decade would pass before the band re-grouped, but Lynch put the time to good use.

In addition to raising a family, she launched dual careers as a songwriter (her songs have been recorded by Patty Loveless, the Seldom Scene, Kathy Mattea, the Whites and Stephanie Davis) and as a session vocalist. Her harmonies have been on albums by such leading artists as Loveless, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Pam Tillis, Kathy Mattea, John Starling and Ralph Stanley.

A re-energized Front Porch String Band roared back onto the scene with their 1991 album, Lines and Traces. The success of that album and of the band led to Claire's second solo album, Friends for a Lifetime in 1993. Next came the Grammy-nominated Moonlighter in 1995, followed by 1997's Silver and Gold, which also received a Grammy nomination. ~ Wikipedia
