Clare comes from humble beginnings, having grown up on a working farm and ranch in the Dust Bowl country of Southeast Colorado and the Oklahoma Panhandle. It's the Ag way of life that has shaped everything about Clare Dunn's music. From long hours of driving tractors, combines, and 18-wheeler trucks for harvest, and hauling water to cattle alone, from an early age, Clare's childhood music heroes included Waylon Jennings, Tom Petty, Dwight Yoakam, The Rolling Stones, Merle Haggard, George Strait, The Eagles, Tina Turner, and many more. An artist who puts everything into their music, she writes, produces, and plays multiple instruments in her music. She defines her mission as always to do what's best for the song, all the time, no matter what. The outlaw spirit of rugged Artistic freedom is alive and well in her music, blending the sounds of her heroes with her own. 

Rural America is full of the most wonderful and generous people I’ve ever met, and that’s not just cause I was raised here. That was something you said at the DuVall Benefit Concert. I know you said that about a specific couple who had just suffered a tremendous tragedy, a tornado.
