The Kathryn Claire Trio

With her violin and voice at the center of her music, Kathryn Claire weaves together stories and melodies rooted in her classical and traditional musical background while infusing each song and composition with an energy and electricity that is palpable. Her musicality and joy on stage is infectious. Honest and poetic writing, crystalline vocals, impassioned violin compositions, and an ability to move seamlessly across genres, are the hallmark of Kathryn Claire's original and diverse sound. Utilizing the immense talent of her trio featuring Allen Hunter on bass, and Sid Ditson on violin, Kathryn Claire delivers her own unique brand of harmonic folk-pop.

Allen has toured extensively with Kathryn Claire in Europe, and has been playing live and recording with Portland area songwriters and bands for the past 20 years and has been touring internationally for the past 10 years with LA-based band, Eels.

Sid Ditson has been playing violin since childhood and has a versatility with the instrument that is truly inspiring. Classical, indie, old-time, Irish and improv are all a part of Sid's pallet, along with an exquisite tone and depth of expression.
