Paula Clare Celebrates the Release of
Lighter Than Light with a
Special Live Performance at Pump House Music Works
With a career spanning theater, film, television commercials, and voice acting, Rhode Island-based performer Paula Clare is bringing her dynamic talents to the music world with the release of her latest album, Lighter Than Light. She will celebrate the launch with a CD release show on Sunday, April 6, 2025, at Pump House Music Works in South Kingstown, RI.
Best known for her work in commercials for McDonald’s, Blistex, Sears, and Pepto-Bismol, as well as standout performances in Chicago theater productions such as A Doll’s House and Bus Stop, Paula Clare has spent over 20 years captivating audiences on stage and screen. A versatile and dynamic performer, she honed her craft at renowned institutions including Second City Improv, St. Nicholas Theater, and the American Conservatory in Chicago, as well as Trinity Rep and Gamm Theatre in Rhode Island. Her film experience includes the beloved coming-of-age classic Sixteen Candles.
Her versatility extends beyond acting, she is also a jazz and blues singer and pianist bringing deep musicality to Lighter Than Light.
“Music and storytelling have always been at the heart of what I do,” says Clare. “This album blends my love for theater, jazz, and intimate songwriting. Performing live is where it all comes together, and I can’t wait to share these songs with the audience.”
A richly orchestrated album produced and arranged by Joe Parillo, Lighter Than Light showcases lush orchestrations and a theatrical, jazz-infused sound. The album features a mix of live instrumental performances and carefully layered overdubs, creating a rich, cinematic feel.
Featured musicians include:
Joe Parillo: Piano, Keyboards
George Dussault: Guitar, Engineer
Mike Marra: Bass
Rick Andre: Drums
Rick Couto: Percussion
Violin, Viola, Clarinet & Flute Overdubs: Various musicians
The album also highlights Clare’s songwriting, with most tracks penned by her, alongside collaborations with Parillo on several compositions.
This special evening will showcase Clare’s dynamic stage presence, storytelling, and musicianship, bringing together her years of performance experience in a setting perfect for fans of pop, jazz, cabaret, and theatrical music.
