Clare Burson to celebrate album release at Hotel Cafe Sept. 13

Clare Burson's 'Silver & Ash' is out from Rounder Records on September 14th and this Brooklyn-based, Memphis-bred indie songstress will celebrate at Hotel Café September 13th. The album's ten tracks are a stunning, nuanced exploration of her grandmother's life in Europe before World War II, and showcase a voice Harp Magazine called "knowing... world-weary like Lucinda Williams,’ expressive like Kathleen Edwards,’ mysterious like Jolie Holland’s." Early reviews of 'Silver & Ash' are calling the album:"softly devastating suite of songs that reveal themselves with the slow grace of an antique music box." "finely polished, profound and must hear record…with good arrangements, great songwriting, intellectual lyrics, beautiful tone and true inspiration, this is storytelling at its best."

Clare Burson,
with Mark Spencer (Son Volt) on guitar, Tony Leone (Ollabelle) on drums, and Andy Cotton on bass

WHEN:
Thursday, September 13th
