Music Career and Collaborations

Alongside her acting career, Clare Bowen has also pursued music. Though not as commercially prominent as her acting work, music remains a significant part of her creative life. In 2014, she collaborated with the Zac Brown Band on a live version of their hit song Free. That performance included a seamless transition into Van Morrison’s classic track Into the Mystic, earning praise from fans for its emotional depth.

She has also released solo music, including the notable track "Black Roses," which gained attention after being featured on Nashville. The song peaked at number 116 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart. Clare Bowen's combined success in acting and music has contributed to an estimated net worth of approximately $10 million.

Personal Life and Advocacy

In December 2015, Clare Bowen became engaged to longtime partner Brandon Robert Young. He proposed to her shortly before a performance at The Grand Ole Opry, held at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium. Their partnership also extends to the stage, where they have performed together often.

During this performance, Bowen debuted a short pixie haircut, a choice that carried personal and symbolic meaning. A young girl undergoing treatment for illness had once told Clare she couldn’t be a princess because she didn’t have long hair. Motivated by this, Clare donated her hair and embraced a new look to inspire self-acceptance among young girls and women facing hair loss.

As a cancer survivor, Bowen is deeply familiar with the emotional and physical side effects of serious illness. Her decision to cut her hair was met with support, including from ABC, the network behind Nashville. Bowen uses her platform to advocate for beauty and strength beyond societal norms, particularly for those undergoing medical challenges.
