Album Notes

Raised in a musical family, Clara George was trained classically from an early age. She started playing guitar and writing songs at the age of 16. Clara studied classical music at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and Arizona State University before considering a career as a singer/songwriter. At the age of 23, she co founded a band called Surrender Dorothy. The band produced a three song demo with Scott Kusmirek (The Gin Blossoms) and sent it to the Lilith Fair Festival to be considered for an opening slot on the 1999 Lilith Fair tour. Surrender Dorothy was selected to open the festival on the Village Stage. For the final song of the evening, Clara George shared the stage with Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, and Dido. Additionally that year, one of Clara's songs was featured on the soundtrack of the independent film: An Intimate Friendship.

In 2003, Clara moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to pursue her solo career. In 2004, she met Naim Satya (Jazz Philosophy/JP Studios) and started producing The Fairfax Sessions. Clara wrote and arranged all of the tracks on the CD. She played acoustic and electric guitars, piano/keyboards, bass, and percussion on all of the production. Terry Notary played the drum set. The Fairfax Sessions will be released on 06.11.05. Cristin Brew of the Spectrum Center says, "...The Fairfax Sessions is an intimate and real work of art. Clara's addictive voice and open heart make for an incredible musical experience..." Whitney Hanson, lead guitarist for several Phoenix area bands, writes: "...Clara's voice, coupled with her songwriting genius and melodic sensibilities create a feeling akin to falling in love. Clara will make her mark on the music world undoubtedly. She is to cherish and most importantly...to listen to."
