Clare Bowen

Before landing the iconic role of Scarlett O'Connor on the ABC/CMT/HULU TV series NASHVILLE, launching her career as a singer/songwriter, Clare Bowen was growing up in rural Australia. Bowen heard her first broadcast of the Grand Ole Opry on the wireless in her grandad’s kitchen. Soon after, her classical vocal coach paused one of their lessons to comment on the "country lilt" that had naturally crept into Bowen's voice.

It would be another decade before she&#39;d duet with heavyweights like <a href="spotify:artist:6tKJaNOY6oNVWcegnMMEtt" data-name="Zac Brown">Zac Brown</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3IhWQSrLj8EJjdvjFTpCyo" data-name="Vince Gill">Vince Gill</a>, recording songs with GRAMMY-winning producers like <a href="spotify:artist:4zMX9gWf1DKhvsYHUCbBF7" data-name="T Bone Burnett">T Bone Burnett</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6RwBVkrxTbbtS4bwxYQXcp" data-name="Buddy Miller">Buddy Miller</a>, but those early experiences were already pushing Bowen toward Nashville.
