I like it:)So, a good friend and music industry guru, Jim shared a great article with me a little while back that I've been meaning to share with you all.

Ladies and Gentlemen we have amazing news for you. Clara Lofaro has won Indie Week 2006 in Toronto. Chosen as one of 50 bands to perform from a field of over 400 applicants, Clara survived the first night of competition to be one of 9 to perform in the finals. The finals featured tough competition from around North America, but in the end it was clear, Clara Lofaro and her band were victorious.

Hi Ladies and Gents,I'm sitting here writing to you with a kind breeze refreshing me from the window. It's a sign autumn is coming and I like pumpkins so that makes me happy. Speaking of autumn, have you checked out our new song, FALL? If you came to the CTR Music Festival you have. If you couldn't make it all the way to Jersey, you can still be among the first to see it live at our next big show

Hi Sweethearts!I wanted to tell you that I had a wonderful time with you all at the last Soho 323 show this week. Watching everyone sitting on top of tables and couches covering every spot of the floor. Every new person that came to our residency was amazed at how friendly everyone was. You don't have to worry about coming alone to a clara lofaro show because we won't leave you alone!!Hugs, love,

I feel as though I've traveled around the globe in a tractor since my last letter. It has been that long and my skin feels tougher with a young finish, like I've gone back in time to see my life through a softer lens. There was time spent learning how to do nothing, some reconnecting with my family, and some learning how to accept all that I asked for when it finally came to me. The reward seemed

SXSW TOUR March 6-20th (Dates Below)A BIG Thank you to all those who made our last night at Soho 323 so special. The house was packed, the music was hopping and I loved feeling the audience’s energetic flow from silent to dancing as I started the set off with ballads and escaladed, escaladed until it all exploded!

Hey Peeps!So far this year, I was filmed in Times Square for a music video of Black Blue Pearl which will be aired on the WB Network on or around April 26th. Boston Fans, make sure you are watching! My vocal was chosen by Disney for a new commercial campaign advertising their Parks and Rec-Very cool. I am also in the middle of booking a tour to SXSW and a bigger tour for this summer. Check me

To My Fans and Friends,I close the door and begin to write as I do almost every day. I stop for a second to fix the light, intimate and alone. This is best for clarity and honest words. Last year about this time and date, I was writing a very different newsletter to you entitled, The Bitter End, and it was.

Hey Boston!The Michigan dates for the tour went really well. To find out what Chuck said about it visit this link. Chuck is my bass player/percussionist- basically sideman for acoustic shows. He is great at a lot of things, including being a good support and sport! Thanks Chuck:)I started off this morning in Providence with a motorcyle ride to Blackstone trail in Providence where I had my morning

We all know that getting out of NYC is a bitch, but try being stuck on I-80 right by the Poconos for 3 hours! Let me begin by telling you a bit about the band. (From left to right) We have Chuck the Blue-eyed Bass Player, Kiri the Sexpot, Michael the Private Investigator, and me with my vivid imagination. Basically, the sexiest and happiest band on the road!(there will be a picture right HERE

Hmmm... there is a pinch in my shoulder that won't go away. I don't know if it's from teaching myself guitar, helping Kiri move in (YAY!), or all the stress from getting ComeTrue Records off the ground and booking this tour. Love and hate are so close. It's hard to be running a business with my "art", with something that reveals all my passion and longing from the deepest corners of my soul..but

Good Morning.It's a chilly morning with the spell of fall creeping in. It reminds me of pumpkins and that makes me happy. So many amazing things are happening these days. I try to cherish everything because I'm really not the type that is interested in stardom. I have to be honest. The love is in every day I have the freedom to live life the way I want to; to pick up the guitar and practice until

SLEEP WHEN YOUR DEAD What They've Been Sayin'..."The raw emotion of Morrisette's original "Jagged Little Pill," mixed with "Jewel's sensitivity" and "the silky soulfulness of Sade." Radio personalities say Clara Lofaro has somehow mastered that unlikely but perfect blend and, on top of that, writes memorable songs with smart, gutsy lyrics. She also self-produced her recently released album,

2004 I cream my body and watch the raindrops fall against its smoothness It has been a crying year -but it is over now. The sun shines its glowing face and erases my sorrow And I remember the gentle goodness I choose to live again In my new skin and kindled eyes To awaken the beast within me and set him free There is a rock in the corner that wears my name Planted far beneath the gravestone

Hi Beautiful One, The holidays are approaching and I've got my nose to the grindstone. It's been a crazy year and for me, it will be a fresh start when it is over. A lot has happened. Not all I would like to share, but you can probably piece big chunks of it together in my songs. There are many fresh starts already underway. I have begun pre-recording for black and blue pearl with producer, Josh
