Arielle Silver is on a mission, and she takes this pursuit seriously. We'll get to know her music today, but her deep encounter with Eastern Spirituality, including her practice of yoga, meditation, and more, could easily fill all our broadcast time. Arielle had music flowing into her from her father's guitar playing, and it also was a rich part of her Jewish background, but she definitely found the need for her music to rise out of and be rooted in her spirituality. Arielle made 3 albums, but then took a 10-year detour, eventually leading her back to the work of a songwriter, with 2 new albums and another in gestation. She can do it all, musically, but today you'll hear more folkish influences than pop, rock, jazz, or punk. Whatever she sings, she shapes into an elevating, moving, spell-binding flow of music. Today is part 1 of her Song of the Soul, with part 2 next week.
Past/present religious/spiritual influences: Jewish, Earth-based Spirituality, Pantheism, Yoga, Meditation
