Review: Clare Free – Where Are You Now
Review: Clare Free – Where Are You Now Independent (March 6th 2020) Reviewer: Grant Foster Another artist I’d never heard of. Which is kinda cool, as it gets me off of my arse, in order to find out about them. Clare is a blues artist. Plays guitar and sings. Now, there are some of my […]
