PRAISE FOR WATERSHED (release date: Oct 2023)
Snapshot
“Lovely songwriting”
— Boston Globe
“A born communicator... exudes intelligence and humanity.”
— Music Connection
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. Born on Florida's Gulf Coast, raised in woodsy spots along the mid-Atlantic, Arielle skinny dipped through her 20s at Walden Pond, and now feeds the feral cats beneath her home in Los Angeles, just a traffic jam away from the Pacific Ocean.
Her fifth album WATERSHED is an earthy, luminous, and literate collection of songs that emerged from the watershed moments of the pandemic. It was released with a shoutout from NYTimes bestselling author Cheryl Strayed and premier partners The Bluegrass Situation, Americana Highways, and Twangville.
The opening track, Soft on the Shoulder took Second Place / Runner-Up in the 2024 International Acoustic Music Awards (IAMA) and Worth Waiting For was selected as Best Female Artist Finalist. Songs from Watershed have been heard on Chicago's WFMT-FM Midnight Special, NYC's WFUV Sunday Supper, and LA tastemaker station 88.5FM The SoCal Sound, whose Program Director Mookie called Arielle “an incredible singer-songwriter right in our backyard." Twangville calls Watershed, "a mix of sophisticated, reflective songs" and (most thrilling for Arielle) NYTimes bestselling author Cheryl Strayed called it "Beautiful.”
New Releases Now writes, “In the sun-soaked heart of California, Arielle Silver emerges as a masterful storyteller, blending the soul of Americana roots with influences drawn equally from Laurel Canyon and Greenwich Village.” Watershed is still bringing in excellent reviews from Americana UK, At The Barrier, A Little More Vodka, and more.
In 2023, Music Connection wrote “Superb stage presence… an excellent songwriter." This follows their 2020 review calling her “a born communicator... exudes intelligence and humanity,” with a spot on their year-end Top Prospects and Hot 100 Live Artists lists.
As a teaching artist and advocate for songwriters and authentic acoustic music, Arielle currently serves as Board President of Folk Alliance Region-West (FAR-West) and on the team behind The SONA Foundation. Additionally, she serves on faculty at Antioch University Los Angeles, at UWisc-Madison's Summer Music Clinic, and at her yoga studio Bhavana Flow Yoga. www.ariellesilver.com
