Description

LA-based ongwriters and musicians Sofia Wolfson & Sharon Silva bring their cathartic lyricism and gorgeous voices to the Joshua Tree Saloon. Stumbling down the narrow hallway of her family’s Los Angeles home, Sofia Wolfson took her first steps to her dad strumming “Norwegian Wood” on his Taylor Guitar. She was surrounded by music from the beginning: the rooms and hallways always lined with a variety of instruments from guitars to dulcimers, basses to shakers. Wolfson picked up the guitar at age 6, began writing her own songs by age 9, and played her first show when she was thirteen, a pimply high school freshman singing about homework woes, boy troubles and the overwhelming feeling of growing up. During her years at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, though a theater major, she continued writing and performing music, taking lessons learned from her department about performance and delivery. Raised on a crowded West Hollywood intersection, Los Angeles has always been a central character in Wolfson’s music, whether she draws her inspiration from her morning hike up to the Observatory with her dog Gulliver, or from conversations she overhears while walking through her neighborhood. Her musical influences range from Joni Mitchell to Blake Mills, The Band to Fiona Apple, music she was introduced to by her dad on long car rides north to visit family. Sofia’s latest release, Adulting, is out now. The Los Angeles-based Sharon Silva, known for her fiery vocals and anthemic melodies in The Wild Reeds, is at the helm of a new undertaking. After the loss of her mother to cancer, a new perspective emerged naturally, and by necessity, and she’s daring to carve out space for something different yet familiar. A certain awareness of loss and refining experiences comes through in her music, but the listener leaves a little lighter. It’s the feeling of telling a hard truth to someone close—and feeling better for it. Silva is currently finishing a full-length debut album alongside producer Ryan Pollie in Eagle Rock, CA.
