Modern folk artist Clare Burson, a Fulbright Scholar who has recorded with T Bone Burnett and performed with Alison Krauss, holds a release show for her new album, “Silver and Ash.” Each track imagines the life of Burson’s grandmother, who was born in Germany in 1919 and escaped one year before the outbreak of World War II. Burson traveled to the childhood homes of her ancestors in Germany, Latvia, Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine for the project, which also speaks to her own struggles with rupture, silence, guilt, empathy and continuity. Rounder Records, JDub Records and Six Points Fellowship for Emerging Jewish Artists cosponsor the event, which is made possible with support from The Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles. Mon. $10. 7-10 p.m. Hotel Cafe, 1623 1/2 N. Cahuenga Blvd., Los Angeles. (323) 461-2040. hotelcafe.com.
