Jess Moskaluke
“Strong As It's Ever Been” – “Like
what I heard, this is the strongest” - Marie Crichton BBC Radio
Shropshire
Her fan base
grew quickly with her first indie EP release Cover Up (Vol 1 iTunes, Vol 2 iTunes, Vol.3
Amazon UK) debuting at #5 on the iTunes
Canada album charts. The first single “Amen
Hallelujah” shook the Canadian radio airwaves and has received over a half
a million views on YouTube.
The next few
years to follow were a whirlwind for this country artist; a Tyler Ward Featured
Artist who rocked the stage on a 45-city tour with his camp throughout North
America in 2011.
2012 proved to
be another exciting year, as she was chosen to represent Canada and perform at
the Country Music Association (CMA) Global
Artist Party at “The Stage” to help kick off CMA Fest 2012, in addition to
her track “Go Big Or Go Home” featured on the hit TV show Heartland.
Following signing with MDM Recordings Inc., in September 2012 she released her debut 8-track EP Catch Me If You Can (Amazon UK). A medley of pop-infused country tracks, with 3 tracks produced by award-winning musician Mitch Merrett (2007 Canadian Country Music Award Producer of the Year and Juno nominee). The title track and respective video was picked up by The Family Channel, airing in winter 2014.

A proud resident of Langenburg, Saskatchewan,
in February 2014 she participated in the Telemiracle CTV broadcast, which
raised over $5 million dollars for the Kinsmen Foundation to aid Saskatchewan
residents to access special needs equipment and medical assistance. When she is
not on the road touring, Jess primarily splits her time between her home base
in Saskatchewan (with her puppy Shya!), Canada and the US, writing in Nashville.
Along with Alex
Kline she is a co-writer of “Unbroken” from Erin Enderlin’s August 2013 album Let Her Talk
A notable
performer on the 2014 CCMA® Awards Show live broadcast, Jess dominates the
stage with her powerful vocals, country-pop style and infectious smile.
Produced by Corey Crowder (Jamie Lynn Spears) and mixed by Scott Cooke (Dallas
Smith, Florida Georgia Line), her single “Cheap
Wine and Cigarettes” quickly became the highest charting song on the iTunes
top 200 singles chart for any Canadian artist. With her second single off her
new 10-track album LIGHT UP THE NIGHT
(released April 2014), she also achieved GOLD record status in August 2014;
becoming the first Canadian female solo country artist to surpass 40,000+
downloads for a song since Shania Twain. She released her single “Used” in September 2014, followed by
single “Night We Won’t Forget” on
January 30, 2015.
Her debut
single “Good Lovin’ ” hit #17 on the Canadian country BDS charts, and was
featured on the Country Hits 2014 compilation (which has sold over 44,000 units
to date). The album debuted at #79 on the pop chart and #10 on the country
chart for sales. In April 2014 the same single (“Good Lovin’ ”) also won Song
of the Year at the 2014 Saskatchewan Country Music Awards (SCMA), in addition
to Jess also receiving both a 2014 SCMA Fan Choice Entertainer of the Year nod
and her second consecutive SCMA Female Vocalist of the Year title.

The four of us who played on the album, our last names are all the same, it's my family band, the band that travel with me the majority of the time, the band that know what I'm thinking by the look in my eye, both musically and personally, a band that is family. I have lots of great friends that are musicians but for this album, I personally needed that extra touch of home, and that was keeping it simple with my family.

“Old
Hat” -
“It’s been a long time that a song
has moved me so much, it really is wonderful, this is just great..really struck
me absolutely beautiful, lot of talent” -
Born
on a farm in southeast Colorado near the Oklahoma panhandle, Clare’s roots run
deep in the heart of Dust Bowl country. Working cattle, hauling water, driving
combines, tractors and eighteen wheelers from a young age all were a part of
everyday life. When your closest neighbor is six miles away, and many hours are
spent behind the wheel of a John Deere Tractor on the family farm, a work ethic
becomes ingrained in your soul. During the miles burned up hauling water to
cattle, Clare dreamed of creating her own music.
Driving
45 miles to high school each day, Clare achieved All-State basketball and
volleyball recognition in high school. After graduating in a class of eight,
Clare’s chance to fully pursue her dream came with college. After a brief
college stint in Texas, and with a very supportive family, she relocated to
Nashville to attend Belmont College.
She paid her way through Belmont University by driving a silage truck for
harvest through Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska during every academic break she
could. During this time she also picked up a guitar for the first time
determined to master both acoustic and electric guitars.
After
graduating from Belmont with honors she signed
her first publishing deal as a songwriter and hasn’t looked back. Involved
with every aspect that goes into the creative process, from writing her debut
single “Get Out” with co-writer and producer Ben West, to playing guitars on
the track, to singing background vocals, Clare’s music is a true representation
of all the things that make her who she is. A farm girl with a vision and sound
forged from life experiences, combined with the work ethic and passion for her
dream of music.
She
has forged relationships and written with some of the most highly regarded
songwriters in Nashville and LA, including Hillary Lindsey, David Hodges, Troy
Verges, busbee, Liz Rose, Angelo, Terry McBride, Brice Long, Will Hoge, Chris
Lindsey, Dylan Altman, Marshall Altman, and more. Clare recently signed a
world-wide publishing agreement with BMG/Chrysalis.
Touring,
she has opened for Keith Urban, Florida Georgia Line, Colt Ford, Parmalee, Hank
Jr., Jamey Johnson and others as well as played major festivals. The first
reaction from promoters and buyers is always the same… ”I didn’t realize that
you were that good and actually played guitar”.
Her
2013 single “Get Out” (>> Audio) was sent to radio along
with 2014s "Cowboy Side of You"
neither of which made the Top 60 Billboard Country Airplay. Her latest
single "Move On" (MCA Nashville)
Snagged
Hot Shot Debut honours at No.58 (Chart issue week of August 1, 2015) and so far has a highest
chart rank of #50.
Clare
co-wrote and co-produced all five songs on her EP, presenting a gratifying
blend of country and rock.
Included
on the EP is Clare’s major label radio debut, “Move On,” which country star Dierks Bentley calls out as a “bad ass
song” with a “totally unique vibe.”
NPR asserted the “Colorado-raised country newcomer is a little
bit Florence, a little bit Bonnie and a whole lot rock and roll.” This
magnetic rising star also plays lead guitar on every track both in the studio
and in her impressive live show. Clare is a fearless performer and guitar player,
drawing numerous comparisons to Bonnie Raitt and Keith Urban while recently out
on tour with American rock icon Bob Seger. The Boston Globe commended Clare’s “big
voice and serious guitar prowess,” while Rolling Stone noted, “it’s
easy to see why Seger himself recruited her [Clare] to open for him on his last
tour.” (Press Release)

Rollingstone
shining a spotlight on the pop side of her country-pop debut, Clare Dunn's
"Tuxedo" (>> audio)
described it - “is a punchy, polished ode
to the newcomer's ideal man. Co-written with Ben West and Brett James, the song
pairs the ingredients of modern-day pop — vocal tuning, drum tracks, gauzy
keyboards and ethereal electronics — with a crashing chorus that's more Pink
than Paisley.
Clare
has been tapped to join Miranda Lambert on the Roadside Bars & Pink Guitars
Tour
Chris Young the CMA, ACM and Grammy-nominated
hit-maker will welcome country newcomer, Clare Dunn, to open on Oct 22nd
on his “I’m Comin’ Over”
