Welcome to the Official Julie Silver Website
Hello friends, and thank you for stopping by.
Spring has sprung in Southern California. What a glorious, fragrant, sunshiny time it is around here. How lucky we are! I’m out of doors as much as I can be–walking, running, biking, doing my crossword puzzles at Peet’s on Montana. I was on the road for so much of the Winter, playing for audiences all over the East Coast, so it feels extra good being home here in the Golden State.
The flowers that we planted this past winter are in full bloom, thanks to Meg Crawford of Twin Ponds Nursery in Rhinebeck, NY. Meg traveled 3000 miles West and helped us to envision, design and plant the garden of our dreams. And tending it has become, quite out of nowhere, my new favorite hobby. We have lavender, daisies, three types of roses, jasmine, calanchoes, cyclamen, calalillies, two kinds of sage, rosemary, azaleas. You name it, we’ve planted it. Most days, I’m in the garden, trimming and clipping, and filling the house with these lovely blooms. We even have a seedless Satsuma orange tree (of great relief, I am sure, to the produce guy at Gelsons who sees me coming towards him and runs the other way, just to avoid my “seeds or no seeds?” questions) and a lime tree in the backyard. When the limes are ripe and I purchase the proper extension cord for my VitaMix 5200, you better believe I’ll be serving frosty drinks poolside, Mamacita.
The Pacific ocean is also magnificent this time of year. Last week I rode my bike on the strand by the Coast Highway and there must have been a hundred dolphins following me under the sun. They seem to know we’re watching and waiting for them. I stopped several times on the ride and just closed my eyes–listening to their music. Last month I saw a whale right in the middle of the afternoon. It was unforgettable.
What blessings we enjoy!
I have begun recording a new CD–my first collection of original Jewish music in almost ten years. David Kates (Walk With Me, Beyond Tomorrow) will be producing and we are delighted to be working together again.
Plenty of travel coming up–May looks like a very busy month. Late June through July I’ll be in residence on Cape Cod. Playing and singing wherever the road takes me.
It’s my 20th year of doing this work and I still love every minute of it. Especially the moments I’m not maneuvering through airports. All told, I am grateful beyond words. Drop me an email and let me know who and where you are. I also do a fair amount of facebooking, twittering, muttering, and puttering in case you’re interested in those things…
Please dig in to this web site for more information on CONCERT DATES, NEWS, VIDEOS, NEW CDS, AND just general “craziness” as my daughter would put it. Your support means everything.
Love to you,
