About the event
Join us on June 12th for an evening with Violet Clare, the indie-folk project of 21-year-old songwriter Violet Bowdle. Since moving to Chicago from East Grand Rapids, Violet has quickly become a staple of the local music scene, gracing stages from The Red Room to Sofar Sounds. Her music is a masterclass in vulnerability, weaving intricate reflections on childhood, humanity, and the natural world. Whether she’s performing at a festival or an intimate house show, Violet’s lyric-forward approach is raw, authentic, and unapologetically human. Come experience the songwriter who has spent the last decade turning personal reflections into songs that resonate long after the final note.
