Claire Porter is performing at the historic Folk Night at the Ship, hosted by Quidi Vidi Brewery!

Double-nominated at the 2026 East Coast Music Awards for Jazz Release of the Year and Fusion Release of the Year, and nominated as MusicNL’s Alternative Artist of the Year (2024), Newfoundland dynamo Claire Porter is an onstage tour de force. After years honing her songcraft in Montreal, she now brings her dry wit and meticulous musicianship to intimate venues from Atlantic Canada to Ontario, sharing songs about love, tiramisu, and detritivores. Described as having the prowess and punch of Judy Garland with the lyrical grit of Tom Waits, Porter delivers performances that are as incisive as they are unforgettable.
