Artist History A girl – with a big voice, and a fetish for bright lights – haunts Ottawa’s small clubs begging to be heard. Once in a full moon, the slick-suited men, and hard-belting women invite her on stage, but it only makes her hungry for more. Then a mysterious man, decked out in black boots and leather says, “Come to my underground lair. Have I got a tune or two for you…” The result is CLEAR. From the foul dungeon they emerge, heart in hand – raw and ready for the world. Hopping from club to club, they pour out a hard-driving acoustic sound wrapped with melodies and killer lyrics. Soon, ears begin to perk and toes start a-tappin’. These soulful country ballads, pop oddities, and soukous-style ditties are heard in student bars, local watering holes, and live music venues all over the city. With a bag full of original music just itching to be heard, CLEAR tours the nation’s capital and beyond, in search of an audience with open ears, a love of music, and – most importantly – a strong heart. Songwriter/guitarist Christian Patterson’s riffs hit new heights to match his particular passion for lyrics. Matched with the vocal energy of Sue Johnson, CLEAR’s music has become an original project to be tweaked and tested, and to visit the edges of rock&roll.
