A rising star on the London independant circuit, singer-songwriter Clare Portman's brand of soulful folk and powerful voice has drawn comparisons with the likes of Jewel and Minnie Riperton. A talented guitarist, violinist and pianist, Clare also occasionally drums, and lends her skills to the Irish-tinged "folkpunk" band JD and the Longfellows and indie rockers Sodared, as well as fronting her own rock band Big Girls Blouse. clareportman.com
