SUMMARY:The Jew in the Folk Muse

He may be compassionate\, but there’s always at least a modicum of black humour somewhere along the line to keep his audiences on their toes.”—-Jerusalem Post \n\n\n\n“Reflects the good old U.S. of A.\, warts and all…colorful tales…reminds us there’s a whole wide world outside our doors.”—-Rolling Stone \n\n\n\n“Old fashioned story songs brimming with wit and compassion…off-center\, off-the wall and incisively funny. He will appeal to everyone who likes their music with a side of thought.”—-New York Times \n\n\n\nDeborah Silverstein \n\n\n\nDeborah Silverstein is a lifelong singer-songwriter\, recording artist\, visual artist and musical playwright. She was a founding member of the Boston-based New Harmony Sisterhood Band\, whose album\, And Ain’t I a Woman\, now resides in the Smithsonian Folk Life Collection. Her solo release\, Around the Next Bend\, on the Flying Fish/Rounder label\, was nominated for the Boston Music Awards Folk Album of the Year. Her song\, Draglines\, about strip mining in her native Western Pennsylvania Appalachian Mountains\, became an environmental anthem\, recorded by numerous folk artists\, both in the US and abroad. Deborah sang and recorded for many years with an all-woman a capella quartet\, Taproot; and with Shirella\, a women’s ensemble performing gospel-influenced Jewish music. Before moving to Asheville in 2021\, Deborah performed with her Band of Erics\, who backed her on her 2016 solo album\, Precious Time.
