In this week’s episode Broderick is in conversation with Jami Sieber. Jami as an electric cellist and vocalist, reaches inside the soul with compositions that are contemporary, timeless, lush, and powerfully evocative. Her style of performance has been recognized internationally. An innovative musician, Jami’s music moves beyond the surface, inspiring listeners with her musical prowess and humanity. Her life-long commitment to the environment, social justice, and the healing arts is at the heart of her music, reflecting a deep dedication to the arts as a medium of exploration and awareness of the interconnectedness of all beings.

Jami is a performer that makes transformation appear simple, taking a traditionally classical instrument and morphing it into the source of a multi-dimensional range of expressive works. Her music transforms from the deepest stillness to moving melodies and rhythms that light the soul on fire. Jami’s musical path moved from classical to folk, to rock/pop to world and improvisation. Since launching her solo career Sieber has entered into dynamic collaborations with an extraordinary spectrum of dancers, actors, poets, visual artists, improvisers (Rhiannon), vocalists (Ferron, Cris Williamson), and instrumentalists that span the globe. She has composed for film, (Dorothea Lange: Grab a Hunk of Lightning, Big Joy: The Adventures of James Broughton, As She Is, Queen of the Sun: What are the bees telling us?), dance, theatre, and the popular video game – Braid.
