PERFORMER BIO:
When a legend and icon like Quincy Jones raves about an artist by saying “her strong and sultry vocals are seductive and soul- soothing. Her talent and beauty are equally extraordinary. Whatever she sings she owns, making every note matter! One listen and you know…she is the real deal,” you can be sure music fans everywhere will take notice and wonder just who that artist is. In this case that would be two- time #1 Billboard chart-topping vocalist Deborah Silver.

Silver’s upcoming new album Basie Rocks!!, with a planned early 2025 release, is a collaboration with 2024 Grammy winner for Best Large Jazz Ensemble, the legendary Count Basie Orchestra, Directed by Scotty Barnhart and is produced by Rolling Stones drummer Steve Jordan.
Handpicked by Charlie Watts as his replacement for The Stones, Jordan has also played with Keith Richards, John Mayer, BB King, Don Henley, Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp, Stevie Nicks, Neil Young, Sheryl Crow and Alicia Keyes, and is also now a much in-demand producer.

There has never been a collaboration of this magnitude on this classic music, “where classic rock meets classic big band”, and not just any big band….it’s the 2024 Grammy winner for Best Large Jazz Ensemble, The Count Basie Orchestra.

As the Count Basie Orchestra Musical Director Scotty Barnhart comments; “This is an unprecedented recording that shows what’s possible when an outstanding and versatile vocalist joins forces with the world’s greatest jazz orchestra. “This album is truly remarkable and will stand the test of time…all audiences will love it!”

BASIE ROCKS!! re-imagines timeless Rock and Roll classics from top artists including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Sting and Elton John, while also featuring collaborations with various highly-acclaimed jazz musicians including Trombone Shorty, Arturo Sandoval, Bill Frisell, Kurt Elling and George Coleman.

Deborah Silver has also recorded a string of duets with celebrated artists including Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers, Jazz icon Diane Schuur, Jack Jones, Freddy Cole, Ronnie Millsap, Pam Tillis, Steve Tyrell , Ann Hampton Callaway, Tony Orlando and Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel.
Deborah’s 2020 album, Glitter & Grits produced by industry legend Ray Benson, features musicians from his multi-Grammy award winning band Asleep at the Wheel. Glitter & Grits reinforces Silver’s immense versatility, as an artist taking us on a journey from jazz to the unique Western swing style dynamically bringing these songs to life. This album was voted Broadway World’s Best Commercial Recording, landed the #1 spot on both Traditional Jazz and Western Swing Charts, and crossed over to become #3 on the Weekly Top 50 Country Album Chart.

Her earlier album, 2016’s The Gold Standards, produced by Steve Tyrell with stunning arrangements by Alan Broadbent, was an out-of-the-box smash reaching #1 on the Billboard Traditional Jazz Album chart while landing at #1 on the Billboard Heatseeker Album chart and the #2 spot on the overall Billboard Jazz Album chart.

Silver’s dazzling stage performances in clubs, concert venues, and with symphony orchestras are reminiscent of a past golden and glamorous era. She’s performed at countless clubs and performing arts centers around the country, including Jazz at Lincoln Center, Birdland, Blues Alley, 54 Below, Catalina Jazz Club, The Colony’s Royal Room and Kravis Center for the Performing Arts.
Critics also praised her live shows, with Veteran Critic Rex Reed raving in the New York Observer “Tired of rock and allergic to country and western, I find the shock of what Deborah Silver has done to distill the essence of both musical genres into a fresh cocktail of combustible joy both a surprise and a thrill.”

“When Deborah Silver takes over a mic, she doesn’t just visit the stage, she owns it! Trust me. With beauty, style, talent, swinging musical savvy and a bundle of bazazz. Deborah Silver’s got it all in one package. She’s a thrill, a swinging show- biz whirlwind…and a bargain at any price!”
In addition, Will Friedwald at the Wall Street Journal raved after seeing her perform live…..“Deborah Silver has it all: fantastic showmanship, a great swinging band, and, most of all, solid jazz chops.”

Typical of her philanthropic nature, Deborah recorded her 2014 debut album, Pure Silver, a stellar collection of standards and pop favorites, to raise funds for ALS research and continues to honor that charitable commitment by donating 100 percent of all proceeds from sales to help those suffering with the disease.

In addition, she also donated all first week sales of The Gold Standards album to various charities including to United Way, Semper Fi Fund (supporting injured members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces) Nascar Victory Junction Gang Camp (for children with serious medical conditions) and ALS research, in honor of her sister who was diagnosed with the vicious disease. Deborah and her daughter began a charitable worldwide movement titled SLAM ALS to continue this support for a cure. More recently, while recovering from the Covid-19 virus, Deborah teamed up with 12 time Grammy nominee, Dennis Lambert to write the song “Covid-19 Blues” to raise funds for both the Actors Fund and Jazz Foundation of America, in order to help others suffering due to the pandemic.
