  • Back to “Normal”

    Back to “Normal”

    “Time to Reflect”

    The last 2 years made a lasting impact on our way of life. This is no different for young singer-songwriter, Evie Clair. In a recent interview she opened up about her experiences as a performer during the pandemic. She shares her interesting perspective on getting back to “normal.” Find out how you can see AGT finalist Evie Clair perform LIVE this year.

    Pandemic Performances

    Evie recounted that the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic brought a drastic shift from live shows, to “virtual concerts.” Despite her recent participation in several online events, she found it difficult to recall details about any of them. She revealed that although these events ran smoothly, they didn’t provide the connection with her audience that makes concerts memorable. Evie explained, “Even though there were people watching me, it just felt like singing at my own house.”

    Return to the Stage

    Things are getting back to “normal” for Evie Clair.  However, the end of her isolation is proving difficult as she relearns how to live “normally.” Evie shared,  “It’s a little nerve racking going so long without performing and jumping back in like nothing ever happened. It makes a huge difference when there are people in front of me.”

    Despite the anxiety, Evie feels that this experience will make a positive impact in her life. “Through the pandemic, I’ve had a lot more time to reflect on the last few years”… “I don’t have to end my story with ‘my dad died and I am sad now.” Her return to the stage revealed a new Evie Clair. Fans have noted that her recent concerts give a deeper look into her heart, rather than just the music. Evie shared, “There is a lesson to be learned and to be shared rather than just relating to people who have gone through the same things.” She noticed that because of the pandemic, the music fits the message, not the other way around. “Don’t come to my concert just to be entertained,” Evie says. She hopes that every fan will go home uplifted.

    Things to Come

    Don’t miss your chance to see Evie’s new “normal.” Her upcoming shows include appearances in Boca Raton, FL, Arizona State University, and Danville, CA. She will also be performing September 4th at 11am in Wisconsin Dells, WI at The Keg and Patio, at Higley Center for the Performing Arts benefitting Manes and Miracles, and in a Community Concert in Sierra Vista, AZ in November. Many of these events will be FREE, so don’t miss out on your chance to see Evie Clair LIVE!

  • Even if the World Stops

    Even if the World Stops

    Evie Clair’s 3rd song in her summer of collaborations is with some fantastic kids from One Voice Children’s Choir (Grant, Lulu, Eva and Kainoa) who have a new smaller group called Kids America. This collab also included her good friend Benson Baril! These are some of the talented people behind the scenes:

    Lead Producer: Big Time Nate
    Songwriters: Big Time Nate, Shaun Barrowes, Evie Clair and Benson Baril
    Videography: Dan LaPray

    This project brings attention to the kids who are alone because of the global pandemic with the world still mostly closed. It shows that we need each other and we need to find a new sense of community that is supportive and uplifting. We need to help each other. We need to try harder to understand each other. We need to find peace. We need to find new ways to show people we love them. We need to get past our differences and help people feel hope and that life is worth living and fighting for.

    Evie took on this project because she has felt that despair in the past and sees too many kids feeling it now. She has witnessed an epidemic of teens in her friend groups and community who have taken their own lives during this time of quarantine and she wants to help spread a message of hope and that we all have a purpose and a responsibility to help each other when we fall into dark places.

    ► “Even If The World Stops” Lyrics:

    Cause we all need someone who understands us

    To hold you closer when darkness pulls us

    So even if the world stops well have someone around

    Holding the rope its begun to fray

    I’m Falling now

    Calling for help I’m a mile away there’s no way out

    All I need is someone to hear me It’s a game I don’t wanna play

    Cause we all need someone to understand us

    To hold you closer when darkness pulls us

    So even if the world stops we’ll have someone around

    Can you help me Can you help me out (x3)

    Even if the world stops Looking for signs it will be okay

    I’m screaming out

    The light at the end of the road won’t stay.

    In darkness now

    Cause all I need is someone to find me

    To hold my hand when I’m feeling lost

    Cause we all need someone to understand us

    To hold you closer when darkness pulls us

    So even if the world stops we’ll have someone around

    Can you help me

    Can you help me out (x3)

    Can you help me

    Can you help me out (x3)

    Even if the world stops
