Clare Burson on Last Call with Carson Daly!
You all know Clare as a soulful indie songstress who has been written up in the NY Times, CNN, and NPR– well, on January 18th (day after MLK), Clare will be shifting medias from print to the big screen (or small, depending on the size of your television)! Join Clare as she performs a live concert at Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles that will be filmed for Last Call with Carson Daly. This is a great opportunity to see an up-and-coming talented musician in a unique intimate setting and to show your support for innovative Jewish music on national television!
She will be singing songs from her new album SILVER & ASH, inspired by her grandmother’s escape from Germany to Tennessee in 1938, and Clare’s own struggle with the legacy of family secrets and loss.
Come meet us while we’re out in LA! JDub Deb, Adam, Sharon, and Perlin will be at the show, and we’re buying a FREE DRINK for the first 100 PEOPLE who arrive. Did we mention you’ll be on TV??
We are also offering a special group rate to friends of JDub, for a limited time! Buy 10 or more tickets for only $5 each (half off, plus $2.50 service charge).
Simply e-mail us how many tickets you want to order. JDub will purchase tickets on your behalf and send you an invoice for the discounted rate. Tickets will be held at will call.

Clare Catches the Attention of CNN
CNN picked up the story behind Clare Burson’s Silver and Ash for their “Belief Blog” this week! The piece is titled “Curiousity of Jewish Roots Inspires Indie Singer’s Album,” and focuses on the religious and emotional aspects of Clare’s journey. Her album and all the work she put into it is well-deserving of all this amazing press!

In a piece published this morning, the NYTimes interviewed Clare to learn more about the history behind the album. Spinner wrote a great, detailed chronicle of Clare’s artistic journey, and Popdose.com called the album “rich” and “moving.” Read More »
