Audrey has been performing in the area for nearly over 20 years at venues including Jazz at Kitano, The Cornelia Street Café, The Triad Theater, Trumpets Jazz Club & Restaurant, 55 Bar, the Tanglewood Jazz Festival, the JVC Jazz Festival, Jazz Forum Arts Outdoor Concert Series, Club Bonafide, and Music Mountain. She also loves doing pro bono work and performs numerous times each month in institutional settings including senior centers and homeless shelters.
Each time Audrey performs, she brings to the stage her love for the music and a hope that she can help her audience experience the same beauty, fascination, and delight in the music that she does. She wrote in the cover to her recent album: “…whether a standard or an original work, all of the songs have become a part of me and touch my heart. And I perform them hoping that they will in some way touch yours.”
Audrey’s most recent album release (her fourth), Let Me Know Your Heart, was released less than 6 weeks ago and is already receiving substantial radio airtime and favorable reviews.
Her previous album, Very Early, was released in October 2016 to critical acclaim for both its original works and standards. It has been played on more than 230 stations in over 20 countries.
“Audrey Silver’s voice is exquisite. Warm and inviting, pairing a velvet-laden timbre with impeccable phrasing, Audrey’s vocal technique is a case study in making extraordinary artistry seem effortless." Seton Hawkins, Hot House Jazz
“Audrey Silver has that rare quality of light infectious swing that lights up her tall willowy persona.” Mark Murphy
“….Silver engrosses with her tales….[a] talent worthy of being picked up by a major label.” Robert Rusch, Cadence Jazz Magazine
"Very Early, singer Audrey Silver’s third release is a pure delight. The combination of Silver’s warm and crystal clear vocals, an excellent song selection and fantastic musicianship makes this an outstanding recording.” Glenn Daniels, The Jazz Page
The highlight from their sets was Silver’s captivating interpretation of “The Meaning of the Blues.” Ken Franckling, JazzTimes (Review from the Tanglewood Jazz Festival, 2010).
Her voice rings true, with lovely tone and fine diction. She seems to pick the right tempo for each song she chooses. The ballads don’t just die there – they move! And most of all, when there is a tempo, she swings!!! I dug it. You’ll dig it too.” Bob Dorough
