"In Silver and Ash, 28 years of questioning, studying and mourning have been channeled into song" —New York Times

Indie songtress Clare Burson will be embarking on a headlining tour this December in support of Silver and Ash, her new album released on Rounder September 14. Silver and Ash is a concept album that imagines Burson's maternal grandmother's life in Europe, from before her birth in 1919 to her escape from Germany in 1938. It also explores Burson's own struggles with rupture, silence, guilt, empathy, and continuity. Burson visited her childhood home in Memphis, Tennessee, where she interviewed her grandmothers, and ventured to the homes of her ancestors in Germany, Latvia, Ukraine and Lithuania.
