The current members are Shay Veno (guitar/vocals), Jane Hilton (fiddle/vocals), Billy Brett (mandolin/vocals) and Pat Hershey (acoustic bass). Former members include Paul Knight (vocals/bodhran) and Brian Dwyer (bass).
The odd spelling of the name is a pun referring to the County Clare in Ireland.
Discography
The Clare Voyants have released 2 albums.
Their 1999 debut, "Pass it On", featured a number of traditional Irish tunes as well as the original songs "Pass it On", "The Dangerous Ones", "The Poet and the Soldier", "Danny Boy RIP" and "William Waits". All were written by frontman Shay Veno. Additionally, "Pass it on" includes a hidden track with the scathing hate ballad "I hope you Die", also known as "Lets Be Friends" and "Sensitive Love Song". In 2005, "The Dangerous Ones" was included on the soundtrack to an independent film entitled "Little Victim" starring Robert Wagner.
The 2004 follow-up "County USA" also featured an assortment of Traditional and original songs. Originals included the title track, "Song of the Bottle" and "The Night the Pub Burned Down", all by Shay Veno. Additionally there is an original song entitled "Guardian Angel" written by Billy Brett. Two instrumental originals were also included. "The Widdley Reel" by Jane Hilton and Shay Veno" and "Marcia's Waltzes" by Jane Hilton.
Live Shows
During their live shows, the devoted fans and friends of the band (known as "Voyantmaniacs") perform a number of truly bizarre "audience participation" rituals. Those who have never seen a Clare Voyants performance likely feel they have stepped into a grotesque alternate reality governed by Irish "Rocky Horror Picture Show" fans. This all adds to the fun, and the lively atmosphere of a Clare Voyants show.
In addition to the traditionals and Originals, the Voyants perform quite a few well-chosen cover tunes. These include a number of songs by Shane McGowan, Christy Moore, the Waterboys, Bob Dylan, U2, Woody Guthrie, Johnny Cash, Simon and Garfunkel, Finbar Furey and Bob Marley.
The Clare Voyants disbanded at the end of 2006. All artists continue to play around the Phoenix Metropolitan area.

Ive been on a binge listening to these. Sometimes you dont realize how amazing something is until it's only in your memories.

They produced three albums: This one, another titled County U.S.A., and an early live album recorded in a lovely but noisy pub, which you can find on Youtube under the title "The Clare Voyants LIVE at 2001 St Paddy's Day audio slide show". They broke up around 2006ish I think, and since then Jane (the virtuoso fiddler) and Billy (mandolin and vocals) have sadly passed. You can find some of Shay's other live performances on YT as well (guitar and vocals), and Paul the other singer and bodhran player is now playing guitar and singing as part of a trio called Open Beta, who have their own unique vibe but are also worth checking out.
