CLARE MALONEY & THE GREAT ADVENTURE

New solo project from the lead singer of Deadgrass & Friends, vocalist/guitarist of the Englishtown Project and formerly of the Airplane Family.

Clare Maloney is one of the most distinctive, powerful and emotive voices in rock & roll today.

The internationally renowned singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has shared the stage with members of The Dead, Starship, Allmans Brothers Band, Hall & Oates, the E Street Band, NRPS and more.

Before transitioning to rock, Clare trained extensively and toured as an opera singer, appearing times at the great concert halls of the world

Since 2018, she has been the vocalist for The Englishtown Project, and more recently has toured nationally as a vocalist and guitarist with The Airplane Family.

The Pandemic presented a chance to form The Great Adventure, who played their first show in 2021 to a sold out crowd at The Bitter End. The band features a rotating cast of adventurers from America’s jam + roots-rock communities.

The band released a series of singles in early 2022 to rave reviews. Relix Magazine called their first single, “Legend Lives On,” a “stunning debut.”
