CHANUKAH

IT'S CHANUKAH TIME
From the first notes of this remarkable recording you’ll know it’s not the “same old Chanukah music.” With joyful exuberance, Julie Silver brings a refreshing new sound to many of our Chanukah favorites. From the bluesey slide guitar of “The Dreidel Song” to the Latin rhythms of “Chanukah, O Chanukah,” from the middle eastern strains of “Maoz Tzur/Rock of Ages” to the reggae arrangement of the gospel classic, “This Little Light of Mine,” this CD weaves threads of rock and folk with musical traditions from around the globe. Producer Tor Hyams’s innovative arrangements and Julie’s clear, soulful vocals perfectly capture the powerful message and enduring spirit of Chanukah. Traditional favorites like “S’vivon Sov, Sov, Sov” and “Maoz Tzur” blend seamlessly with contemporary favorites like Rabbi Joe Black’s “Judah Maccabee” and Julie’s own “It’s Chanukah Time.” A perfect holiday companion for the car or home, It’s Chanukah Time will be an instant favorite for listeners of all ages.

FOR LOVE TO GROW
Julie's rich, gorgeous voice and soulful interpretations make this delightful family CD a loving tribute to her mentor and grade-school music teacher, Aline Shader. Shader was a prolific and well-known composer who, like Silver, moved easily among musical genres, writing mainstream adult music as well as children's music. The fourteen secular songs featured on For Love to Grow comprise a collection of Shader’s timeless tunes that both kids and adults will listen to again and again. Each is lovingly and passionately sung by Julie, with artful arrangements by the incomparable Troy Dexter. For Love to Grow is the recipient of a Parents’ Choice Foundation “Recommended” award.

NOTES FROM MONTANA
An accomplished singer-songwriter in both the Jewish and secular worlds, Julie Silver has been described as a "one-woman Indigo Girls with a voice as smooth as Karen Carpenter's." This terrific album is full of personal, insightful lyrics and great catchy melodies.

Notes From Montana, Julie's first secular release from 2002, reflects her passion for social justice while offering meaningful and timely personal insights. Integrating her lifelong love of folk music with an appealing contemporary pop sound, the CD features a duet with Academy-Award-winning actress Helen Hunt on a cover version of Billy Joel's "Summer, Highland Falls." Fans of Julie's Jewish music will want to add this outstanding CD to their collection! Produced by Troy Dexter.

"She's a talented singer songwriter and she's very funny. She has a voice like an angel, if angels could sing, (I'm sure they can. It would be cruel if angels couldn't sing.) with a devilish grin. My favorite song is "This Train." Thank you, and goodnight.

WALK WITH ME
Julie Silver's third recording, geared primarily for adults, reflects her spiritual growth and maturity as a songwriter and performer. Recorded live in studio, very sparsely produced and acoustic guitar driven, Julie's warm and intimate performance gives the listener the feeling that she is right there in your living room, playing and singing just for you. Many of these songs — "Shir Chadash" and "V'ahavta" in particular — have become standards in synagogues and spiritual settings throughout the country.The meditative focus of these twelve English and Hebrew songs, many based on liturgical texts, creates a feeling of warmth and peacefulness.
