When you hear Rae Hering’s music, you’ll understand why she calls her music Eclectic ArtPop: each song is unique, colorful and catchy. Drawing you in with her sophisticated melodic sense and textured, jazz-leaning voice, this multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter creates intelligent music that ranges from playful to melancholy to funky.

Since graduating from Belmont University with studies in piano and composition Rae has recorded two albums independently and most recently a series of singles titled “Live at Pentavarit.” She’s active on Patreon where patrons can download the Song of the Month as well as take part in Patron-Only Live-Stream Shows. Many of these contributors have discovered Rae through Periscope where she has earned a Gold VIP Broadcaster status and is quickly building a following with her regular live-stream concerts of all-original music.

As a performer averaging 150 live and live-stream shows a year, Rae captivates audiences with her stunning vocal abilities while moving between piano, guitar and accordion. From an early age her classical piano training fostered in her a comfort of the stage and a love of sharing music - this is evident in the energy she puts into each performance. Whether Rae is grooving with a rhythm section or owning the stage as a solo act, she’ll mesmerize you with her engaging and often witty lyrics and dynamic stage presence.

Rae puts her skills to use off stage as well.  As an adaptable composer, Rae writes and records music for commercial spots including Singer Sewing Company and for films such as "Daddy's Little Girl" which made it to #1 on the iTunes Top Short Films Sales List.  As an active co-writer, she has applied skills unbarred by genre including the pop ballad "It's Alright" recorded by MCA Music (Philippines) artist Solenn and "Rock Paper Scissors" recorded by folk/americana artist Anne Buckle.  Rae can also be heard on session work for various artists in Nashville and is a versatile and experienced private music teacher.  

Whether she's writing a new tune, recording in the studio or performing live, the driving forces behind Rae Hering’s music are to pursue the creative adventure and make a meaningful connection with her audience. No wonder anyone who experiences her unique artistry is left with a lasting impression.

NEW ALBUM . OUT JULY 4TH
THE TITS OUT TOUR SUMMER 2025

Clare Means' latest album, Sidewalk Astronomy, debuted at #1 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts and #66 (right below Kanye's newest album) on the iTunes All Genres Chart.

It is a cohesive patchwork of musings on life in Los Angeles, love, forgiveness, and the recent loss of her estranged father. As Clare says, "Most of the songs on Sidewalk Astronomy were written over the course of a couple years and were sparked by a variety of moments in my life... the day I found out my father was sick, when I fell in love, when I knew my relationship was doomed, when I got my heart broken, the day my father died, and when I woke up from a strange dream about sheep."  Clare’s quirky take on life is fresh and comforting at the same time. 

Part of what makes Clare stand out as a performer is the unconventional path she has taken. Always a hustler, Clare has made a name for herself as one of LA's most popular, hardest working street performers. She’s built a dedicated following by being one of the very few performers to perform almost exclusively original music. While most depend on covers to stop foot traffic, Clare learned to work on her songwriting craft and challenged herself to capture audiences using her own songs.  Clare’s street performances are musical experiments in which she interacts with the colorful and chaotic scene of the environment.

In September of 2015 Clare began live streaming her daily performances on Periscope. She is now one of Periscope's most watched musicians and has made it onto the Periscope trending list multiple times and has over 100,000 followers on the app. Clare has independently sold thousands of copies of her albums through her live streaming, street performances and while playing shows at various venues across Los Angeles and touring the US, Canada and Europe.

Clare has also been featured in many popular online blogs and magazines including Billboard, No Depression, PopMatters, American Songwriter Magazine, Buzzbands,LA,  Yay LA! and Digital Music News.  Also, you may have read about her and her live streaming success in the top selling book How To Make It In The New Music Business: Practical Tips On Building a Loyal Following and Making a Living As A Musician.
