Though Claire Pendreigh (Pen-dree), based in Bloomington, IN, didn’t begin performing until her early 30s, she has quickly risen to cult popularity as a local and touring act prior even to the release of any music. In her first three years, she has gathered a steadily growing fanbase thanks to her alternately sweet and husky vocals, disarming demeanor, and incisive and poetic writing style that has been likened most frequently to folk icon Laura Marling.
