Clare Burson

Clare Burson was only 8 years old when she became fascinated with the story of her grandmother, a German Jew who at 19 escaped Nazi Germany on the eve of Kristallnacht. Now the Tennesee native has created a song-cycle and collaborative artist book imagining her grandmother's life and immigration. She joins us to talk about the project called, "Silver and Ash."

Clare Burson will be performing "Silver and Ash" at Joe's Pub on February 26. Call 212-967-7555 for more information.

    Clare sounds great. She can certainly write an impressive homage to fromage.
