ARIELLE SILVER
VENUE: GRAYSLAKE VILLAGE HALL
TIME: 7:00 PM (doors open at 6:30) Arielle Silver is a consummate storyteller whose rich, expressive voice and acoustic guitar frame expansive melodies that echo her tours and travels across the American heartland. Raised on folk festival fields and synagogue pews in woodsy and watery places up and down the Atlantic Seaboard, Arielle now lives a traffic jam away from the Pacific Ocean in Southern California, whose mountains, valleys, and waters that were the historical land of the Gabrielino and Tongva Tribes now inspire Arielle's writing.
Returning mid-pandemic after a decade break from performing music to focus on creative writing and Eastern philosophy, Arielle's fourth album, A THOUSAND TINY TORCHES (2020), is heard regularly on SoCal tastemaker station 88.5 FM and other NPR/community stations across the US and UK. She's made recent appearances at Rockwood Music Hall (NYC), Tucson Folk Festival (AZ), San Francisco Folk Festival, Hotel Cafe (Los Angeles), showcased at Folk Alliance Intl (Kansas City) (and FAR-West, FARM, and NERFA conferences), and has been featured in American Songwriter, Americana Highways, Guitar Girl, the podcast Up Close And Acoustic, and more. CONCERT OPENER: RANDY BURGESS
Opening for Arielle Silver is Folk Club member, Randy Burgess, whose incredible melodious baritone vocal timbre will immediately draw you in, whether it’s one of his original ballads or a cover. He adeptly accompanies himself on guitar and you just can’t help but be completely engaged. |
