Former Nashville star Clare Bowen releases debut solo album

Former Nashville star Clare Bowen has announced the upcoming release of her debut solo album, followed by a headlining tour.

Bowen’s self-titled project is set to drop on July 12 .

Though this is Bowen’s first solo release, she’s not a newcomer to music.
