Clare Maloney and The Great Adventure

Clare Maloney & The Great Adventure are bringing the era of windows-down, roadtrip rock & roll straight into the playlist generation.  Relix magazine named the band an "Artist You Need to Know" in 2023, calling their debut LP 'Daybreaker' “stunning” and praising its “brilliant vocals, rocking band and polished songwriting.”  The album title stands as a sly ode to bandleader Clare Maloney's decade-long battle with writer's block, and triumph over it; night gives way to day, just as the multi-instrumentalist and former opera singer broke through to write over 100 songs in 2021, flawlessly blending rock, alt-country, americana, folk, funk, the great american songbook & more.  

Clare’s powerful and emotive vocal stylings are rooted in her early career as a classical singer, performing at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and throughout Europe and Asia. Despite success in the opera world, Clare felt the magnetism of the rock & roll music she grew up on, and daringly transitioned from the classical stage to become a first-call session and touring vocalist, sharing the stage with members of The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Starship, Allman Brothers Band, Hall & Oates and the E Street Band along the way. As a writer, Clare's unique and unmistakable voice is shaped by the sounds of her native New York – from Tin Pin Alley to CBGB's to Broadway and Brooklyn. 

2023 is proving to be a breakout year for the new band. Their "Daybreaker" tour includes over 50 shows across the Northeast, New England and the Midwest, including notable debuts in Vermont, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois. Their 2023 tour also includes a handful of very special shows supporting Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, Phil Lesh & Friends and Bailen. The band features Nate DeBrine, who co-produced Daybreaker, on guitar and vocals, Russ Gottlieb on bass and electric banjo, and Caleb Estey on drums and vocals.
