NASHVILLE – New country artist Ann Claire and ONEHOPE Wine and The ONEHOPE Foundation have teamed up for a unique partnership to help spread some good spirits at her current tour dates.
ONEHOPE Wine has signed onto sponsor Ann Claire’s residency tour at Belcourt Taps & Tapas in Nashville, this Wednesday, March 8 and Wednesday, March 14 from 6-8 pm. Concert-goers will be able to purchase one of the company’s wines at a special price during the night of her shows and/or participate in a special tasting of all their varietals, paired with special tapas created by Belcourt Taps and Tapas’ renowned chef specially for the events, for a set price. 50% of the wine sales at the venue throughout the night will go toward the ONEHOPE Foundation with 100% of those sales being donated to Support Our Troops, Ann Claire’s charity of choice within the ONEHOPE Foundation’s portfolio of charities. Since ONEHOPE’s launch in 2007, they have donated more than $750,000 to their partner charities.
“ONEHOPE Wine and The ONEHOPE Foundation has been a proud supporter of numerous artists and athletes that have built their career and mission on something greater than themselves. Ann Claire has worked hard and faced many challenges, but has never lost sight of the greater purpose that she has committed her life and career to. At ONEHOPE Wine our goal is to use award winning California wines as a platform allowing other partners to raise money and awareness for many great causes. We at ONEHOPE are thrilled that Ann Claire has partnered with the Belcourt Taps and Tapas and the ONEHOPE Foundation to raise money and awareness for worthy local causes,” says Jake Kloberdanz, CEO of ONEHOPE.
“I am extremely proud to be able to bring these beautiful wines from my home state of California to Nashville and all over the country this year on my tour,” Ann Claire enthuses. “Wine, women and song have always gone together perfectly, and it’s exciting to be able to have my Honkytonk Princess show be a real way to give back to a country and community I care so passionately about.”
Ann Claire is touring in support of her recently released debut CD, Honkytonk Princess, on Prosody Records. The album is receiving rave reviews, including this one by Music News Nashville: "Her enthusiasm is apparent on tracks like 'Lucky Me' and 'Better Girl,' both of which exude the word personality. She also handles the beat of the up-tempo title cut, as well as the breezy 'Let’s Go To Mexico,' which soars with its message of casting worries to the side of the road for a while. Ann Claire also proves adept at handling a ballad, with her warm touch on 'Here To Home,' as well as 'Somewhere.' Kudos to her as well for tackling a cut like Amanda Marshall’s 'Dark Horse,' and rising to the challenge."
The official ONEHOPE mission statement for Supporting our Troops reads as follows: “Military families have always paid a steep price. Their sacrifices and the loss of their loved ones serving in our armed forces should be honored. One in 75 American troops who have gone to war has never returned. 4,735 (according to WashingtonPopst.com) souls have perished in the struggle for peace and security in the war in Iraq. Those heroes leave behind more than a legacy of honor and courage. In many instances, children are left without moms and dads, some never even getting to know their fallen parents.”
ABOUT ANN CLAIRE: Many country girls grow up with dreams of being a real princess. But there’s only one genuine princess who grew up to be a country singer and songwriter: Ann Claire. She was born in the Middle East to a father who was a pop and R&B songwriter in London’s music scene, and as the great-niece of the late Shah of Iran is a bona fide princess. Ann Claire, now an American citizen, grew up in both London and Los Angeles, and was schooled in England, Switzerland, and Spain before attending the University of Southern California to major in film and television and minor in sociology and graduate with honors. She followed that with studies in theatre and voice at San Francisco’s American Conservatory Theatre, where she appeared in a number of plays. She starred in her own reality series, Love Is In The Heir, which ran for 10 episodes on the E! Network in 2006, earning strong ratings around the world as it aired to millions in more than 50 nations. Her debut CD, Honkytonk Princess, was released on Feb. 21, 2012 on Prosody Records and was co-produced by Travis Howard (Nashville Star, Miranda Lambert) and Maxwell Abrams (Muzik Mafia). She co-wrote eight out of the 12 songs on the record.
