Monique Clare is an award-winning Australian indie-folk songwriter and cellist known for her cathartic storytelling, adventurous spirit, and mesmerising live performances. Wielding her cello with rhythmic drive and blending intricate harmonies with deeply personal lyrics, Monique’s music explores universal themes of love, loss, resilience and joy. Her critically acclaimed debut album Sight won Album of the Year at the Australian Folk Music Awards and Song of the Year at the Queensland Music Awards, establishing her as one of Australia’s most compelling voices in contemporary folk.
Her fearless creativity and rich stage presence have taken her far beyond her homeland — from teaching music in war-torn Afghanistan to performing on international festival stages. In recent tours across the UK and northern Europe, Monique has graced festivals such as Cambridge Folk Festival, Kaustinen Folk Festival (Finland), Seto Folk (Estonia) and Celtic Connections in Scotland, winning audiences with her disarmingly candid performances and heartfelt connection to listeners.
Whether playing soul-stirring solo sets or leading mountaintop sunrise concerts, Monique Clare’s tours are immersive experiences — blending folk tradition with bold innovation and leaving audiences moved long after the final note.
