Ava Claire has captivated Nashville audiences since she was 11, enchanting them with her soulful original songs. Initially inspired by artists like Jade Bird, Ed Sheeran, and The Beatles—and more recently by Phoebe Bridgers and Jason Isbell—she commands the stage with a powerful voice and delivers her stories with raw authenticity and grit.
Ava made her debut performance at the renowned Bobby’s Idle Hour on Music Row during the 6th grade—a milestone that set the stage for a blossoming career. Since then, she has captivated stages across Nashville, continuously evolving as both a songwriter and a performer.
In addition to mastering the violin and guitar, Ava has dedicated recent years to refining her skills on the piano and ukulele. With dozens of original songs to her credit, she remains committed to expanding her repertoire while further strengthening her musicianship as a guitarist and vocalist.
Deeply embedded in the Nashville music scene, Ava serves as the CMO on the Board of Tunes for Kidz—a local nonprofit dedicated to providing education and musical instruments to underserved communities. Her passion for teaching songwriting and guitar to children not only enriches the lives of those she mentors but also fuels her own artistic growth.
