Wednesday Nov 26, 2025 7-9pm - Claire Porter and the Stouts Live @ The Battery Cafe
A Newfoundland dynamo, nominated as MusicNL’s 2024 Alternative Artist of the Year, Claire has taken her music to intimate venues across Atlantic Canada, sharing her songs about love, tiramisu and detritivores with audiences at festivals, conferences and folk clubs. Described as having the prowess and punch of Judy Garland mixed with the lyrical grit of Tom Waits, Claire is an on-stage tour de force, infusing her dry wit and meticulous musicianship into every note. Her Stouts consist of Joe Tucker, Kieran Dooley, Liam Peacock and Xander Pierson and they are the nitrogen to her delicious, fizzy tunes.
“It’s not often I hear a single that makes my skin itch.” Heather Barrett, CBC
“My god, that is so relentlessly depressing. Her tone, the space. I’m truthfully in awe. That’s next level.” Dale Conway, CHMR
“Few sing as purely and unusually as Claire Porter. It’s enough to hear her voice, phrasing, accents, melodic clarity, and the seriousness of her song themes to realize: she’s a truly outstanding performer! Although “Time Alone” is technically her debut album, it leaves the impression of a solid work from a mature and talented artist. All that remains is to celebrate the Canadian music scene and wish Claire Porter continued success.” Helena Lynch, Voxwave Magazine
