What’s Happening?

A pioneer of the electric violin and an architect of contemporary string playing, Tracy Silverman is a legend in the string world. Former first violinist with the groundbreaking Turtle Island String Quartet and hailed as “the greatest living exponent of the electric violin” by the BBC, Silverman’s solo looping shows have earned him a loyal fan base and an NPR Tiny Desk Concert. His longstanding duo with 5-time Grammy winner Roy “Futureman” Wooten resulted in their “Live From the Matthews Opera House” album and Wooten is featured in the newly assembled Tracy Silverman Project, which also features Silverman’s son Toby on guitar.

Critically acclaimed in the classical world, Silverman has premiered several major electric violin concertos composed for him by some of our most celebrated composers, including 3 composed by Silverman himself, at Carnegie Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Walt Disney Hall and others with some of the world’s finest orchestras including The Los Angeles Philharmonic, The Royal Swedish Philharmonic Orchestra and many others. Silverman is a long-standing advocate for strings education, the author of The Strum Bowing Method: How to Groove on Strings and founder of The Strum Bowing Groove Academy.

Solo, duo or with his quartet, Tracy Silverman’s genre-blending creativity and virtuosity dips into creative reworkings of Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, Pharrell, Santana, Jimi Hendrix and electric violin legend Jean Luc Ponty as well as an accessible mix of Silverman’s own rock and jazz-leaning compositions.
