Stephen Clair in Concert
Stephen Clair pushed out his 10th studio album last fall. Known for his wry humor & guitar stylings, the Beacon, NY musician has been a fixture on the Americana, singer-songwriter and garage rock scenes since 1997’s Altoona Hotel.
Clair came to prominence when the late Rita Houston added “Jen in Her Underwear” to rotation on WFUV, putting Clair on the map and the road.
The San Antonio Express calls him “a fearless performer.” Power of Pop drives it home when they ask: “How does a genuinely visceral rock songwriter like Stephen Clair not get feted like the second fuckin’ coming?”
“This music is a perfect homage to 1970s garage rock. Think in terms of Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers or if David Bowie had gotten a crack at producing The Velvet Underground. The major thing separating Clair from those artists, and artists like them is the joy within his music.” – Steve Ovadia, Glide Magazine
