Clare sang lead vocals, while Blain played lead acoustic guitar. Over the past three decades, Clare and Blain, now known as Drifting Tunes, have performed their music together, honing their signature sound—a blend of Folk, Roots, Americana, and Country—that is so inviting it envelops listeners like a warm hug. Clare’s captivating, earthy vocals weave together with Blain’s tender harmonies, setting the stage for compelling and memorable musical performances. Their sets feature cover songs by legendary singer-songwriters and musical influences like Townes Van Zandt, Nanci Griffith, Gillian Welch, and Gram Parsons, interspersed with Drifting Tunes’ original, lyric-driven songs. Set to tuneful melodies, these songs are inspired by the music they love, experiences gathered in the vast landscapes they’ve traveled through, and the people they’ve met. Their songs transform ordinary, yet timeless, relatable moments—sometimes even tragic ones—into memorable, poignant, and at times humorous slice-of-life stories. Over the past 25 years, Drifting Tunes’ tunes have drifted from one end of North America to the other, from small towns in Ontario, Canada, to the Appalachian mountains, and even to smokey cowboy saloons tucked deep in the Mojave desert of the southwest. Even after their music stops, Drifting Tunes lingers in the air.
