The talented singer/songwriter Clara Chung held her album release at The Hotel Café on Friday night, and we were fortunate to attend this amazing event. The Hotel Café is a cozy little place where the audience can feel the richness of the music flowing through every corner in the room, and see their favorite artists perform on a stage with luxurious red velvet curtains. Before the audience roared for Clara's arrival, Clara's friends Davey and Angie took the stage and performed a few songs. They not only performed tracks that they have written over the years, but also covered songs by local indie singers. As soon as Clara came on stage, the crowd went wild. Yes, Clara, we are here to see you. She was full of energy, naturally cracking jokes here and there, and enlivening the already charged atmosphere. Not only is Clara talented (and funny), but she had a really stellar band to playing behind her, named Feats in Inches. Clara sang a number of songs from her upcoming album, 'The Art in My Heart", and to the astonishment of the audience, she also played a variety of instruments - guitar, keyboard, trumpet, xylophone, and pianica. What was really heartwarming was that Clara provided the background information for each song, making her music more relatable and personal. For many of the songs, there were other sounds blended in with the instruments, such as clapping and whistling, which created an upbeat and fun rhythm. In what seemed like no time at all, Clara announced her final song for the night. As the audience groaned, Clara presented us with great news that her first music video – "Off-Beat" – will be released on Monday! Stay tuned to ClaraCMusic for the release. The show was incredible, and it only further confirmed Clara's musical talents and bright personality. Aside from diehard fans, other artists also came to support Clara, including Bart Kwan, Wong Fu Productions, Dumbfoundead, and David Choi. Don't forget to support Clara by purchasing her album!
