Eauclaire (pronounced OH-Claire) is an indie rock band that blends honest storytelling with cinematic soundscapes, crafting songs that feel like they’ve been lived in before they’re even finished. Rooted in authenticity and anchored in emotion, Eauclaire’s music lives in the space between heartbreak and healing — where the human spirit bends, but doesn’t break.
Formed by college friends Bryant Urich, Justin Barnett, and Kyle Kicker, Eauclaire emerged from a desire to make music that speaks softly but stays with you. Each song begins as a conversation — an exploration of the quiet moments most people pass by. Whether it’s a flicker of faith, a fading love, or the fragile hope that follows loss, Eauclaire brings those themes to life through lush production, vivid imagery, and a voice that carries both ache and reassurance.
What started as a solo studio project has evolved into a creative collective of musicians and collaborators, each one adding texture to Eauclaire’s signature sound — one that drifts between indie pop, alternative folk, and cinematic rock. The band’s influences range from the reflective intimacy of Bon Iver and Phoebe Bridgers to the soaring atmospheres of Coldplay and Sleeping at Last, creating a blend that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
Beyond the music, Eauclaire is built on connection — not just to sound, but to story. Their songs have resonated with listeners across streaming platforms and have been featured on outlets such as New Release Today, Jesus Freak Hideout, and GodTube TV through partnerships with Turning Point Media. With an expanding community of fans on Instagram, YouTube, and their growing email list, Eauclaire continues to build something meaningful: not just an audience, but a shared heartbeat of people who find hope in the quiet.
Following a string of heartfelt releases, Eauclaire’s newest single, “Little Heartbeat,” marks their most intimate moment yet — a song that captures the trembling space between heartbreak and renewal. It’s a glimpse into what Eauclaire does best: finding beauty in the fragile, light in the aftermath, and purpose in the pause between.
Eauclaire isn’t chasing the noise — they’re crafting something lasting. Each release is a reminder that even in the stillness, something sacred is taking shape.
