Clare Perrott Releases Retro Folk Gem, “Biting On the Hand”

Listening to Clare Perrott’s latest single “Biting On the Hand” is like taking a trip back to the golden age of folk. Clare’s effortless falsetto and joy reminds me of Laurel Canyon artists like Joni Mitchell and Mama Cass. Take a moment to step away from modern demands and soak this beauty up.

“This year I really got into thinking about bad habits that I just can’t seem to shake, and with dirty banjo and distorted nylon guitar this song was born,” Clare recalled. “The main message of the song is that we have to let go of things that don’t serve us anymore. I personally keep going back to past mistakes because somehow I cannot let go. We keep biting on the hand that doesn’t help us and going back for more when it only causes sadness and grief.”

Clare will officially launch “Biting On the Hand” at Mojo’s in Walyalup/Fremantle tonight. Tickets are still on sale from Moshtix.

Clare Perrott Wows Me With Debut Single, “Philadelphia”

Boorloo/Perth artist Clare Perrott has captured my heart with her gorgeous debut single “Philadelphia.” Listening to her confident dulcet vocal tones, I can’t believe this is our first taste of her music. She’s a natural storyteller who I’m sure we’ll hear a lot more from in the future.

This song tells the story of losing someone as they move on to the next chapter of their life. There’s an acknowledgement that the distance will irrevocably change the connection, no matter how hard they try to maintain it.

Clare will launch “Philadelphia” at Clancy’s Fish Pub in Walyalup/Fremantle on July 6. If you’re local, you’re going to want to be there so you can tell everyone you knew about her music first.
