NEW DOMINION PODCAST: Grammy-nominated Singer Deborah Silver
Fusion is not just for chefs. Deborah Silver has forged a distinctive sound by fusing the sound of Count Basie with the power of classic Rock-n-Roll for a Grammy-quality sound.
Silver Rocks with Count Basie on NDP
Featuring Deborah Silver
Mention “Silver” in Fredericksburg, and minds rightly turn to development. But there’s more to the Silver family than all it has done to help our region grow.
Deborah Silver is a singer — a Grammy nominated singer — who is fusing the Big Band sound of Count Basie with the classic rock music that is the soundtrack on many people’s youth. Did we mention she has a fan in Rod Stewart? Silver joins the NDP crew to talk music and more on this week’s podcast.

The interview with Deborah Silver is truly charming. Skip straight to it, because the first 17 minutes of this podcast is quite dull.
Mr. Davis mentions being asked to go speak to a group of Democrats about the possible redistricting in Virginia. He’s not in favor of it, and that’s fine. But it would have been nice to have had someone (maybe from that group!) there to present the other side of the argument. Whichever side you land on for this issue, just listening to everyone agree with each other is very pleasant among a group of friends, but not very helpful or illuminating for a news podcast.
Like in so many of these podcasts, where everyone goes around and agrees that civility is very important, but there’s never much of a discussion of what factors might be leading to a decrease in civility or if there ever might be a time when something might actually BE more important than civility, or of the history of shutting down uncomfortable conversations by critiquing the WAY something is being said as a way of avoiding engaging with WHAT is being said.
But the last 52 minutes with Deborah Silver is great and very enjoyable. She's cheerful and interesting, and clearly very talented. It left me running off to YouTube to listen to her stuff. :)
