Clare Burson, Washington Jewish Music Festival June 23, 2011

Indie songstress Clare Burson’s (also known for her 117-year-old world-traveling cheese!) newest project—the album, “Silver and Ash”—follows her maternal grandmother’s life in Germany from her birth in 1919 to her escape in 1938. This stunning work, featured in the New York Times and on NPR, gives vigor to her grandmother’s story and explores Clare’s own struggles.
