Claire Anne Taylor grew up in Tasmania's ancient Tarkine rainforest, where she was born into her father's hands in the family barn amongst her five siblings. Her father Rob Taylor was originally from Allansford and played in a Warrnambool band called GRED. Her mother, Anne Willis is the niece of Joe Willis of the Warrnambool band the Ghost Riders. After winning the Byron Bluesfest Busking Competition, Taylor relocated to Byron Bay to record her debut album, ‘Elemental’ - released March 2016. Recorded at Studios 301 in Byron Bay with esteemed producer Murray Burns.
The ABC website (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-05-05/claire-anne-taylor-home-in-tasmania/7384348 ) published the following in May 2016:
The distinctive and powerful voice of Claire Anne Taylor was cultivated in a Tasmanian bush home, designed to be open to musical ideas and a do-it-yourself ethos.Parents Robert and Anne Taylor built their home at Milabena in the 1970s with old and recycled materials.They chose to have six home births and reared six little musicians, in a rustic open-plan home known as The Barn.And it was,
originally, an actual barn. A shed used for storage and parties based around a love of live music.Youngest daughter, Claire, grew up among the rough hewn framework, the music, the apple orchards just outside, and the ever-present birdsong those apples attracted.Back at her beloved kitchen table — resting at the end of her first national tour promoting her debut album Elemental — the singer looks at ease among the homegrown pumpkins, tomatoes and apples.And the owner of a voice that has reviewers stumped for comparisons, said that everything she brought to the table — musically and creatively — was grown right here as well.
