Described as a “mystic mix tape that crosses genres” "First Lessons" is the full-length debut album by Landers resident Claire Wadsworth, recording under the name C’est Claire. Widely known as co-owner of the Flamingo Heights restaurant La Copine, the album was three years in the making, as Wadsworth – a Berklee-trained pianist – juggled her busy life as a restaurateur and songwriter/musician.
A piano-driven concept album based on the signs of the zodiac, "First Lessons" is named after a poem by the late New Hampshire poet Phillip Booth. “[The poem] was found in my grandpa’s bedside table after he passed,” Wadsworth said. “For such a religious man to have a poem next to his bible gave me hope.” 5 California desert albums you should be listening to in 2019
