Award-winning singer-songwriter Arielle Silver is a storyteller whose songs weave imagery, empathy, and insight into quietly powerful folk-rooted narratives. Equally inspired by the traditions of Laurel Canyon and Greenwich Village, her music explores the relationships that shape us—between people, places, and the living world.

Her latest album, Watershed, traces moments of change and renewal in landscapes both literal and emotional. Written in places as varied as Venice Beach, the Florida coast, and along the Appalachian Trail, the album’s story-songs carry crosscurrents of reflection, resilience, and connection.

Silver’s rich lyrics and warm, engaging stage presence have earned recognition at the South Florida Folk Festival (Songwriting Award Winner), Tucson Folk Festival (two-time Finalist), and the International Acoustic Music Awards (2nd Place), along with three ASCAP Plus Awards. Songs from Watershed premiered in The Bluegrass Situation, Americana Highways, and Twangville, and the album spent 18 weeks on the Americana Music Charts.

Beyond the stage, she is a Pushcart Prize-nominated writer, teaching artist, and nonprofit arts leader dedicated to strengthening creative communities.
