SILVI | Dragon Soop Artist of the Week in Scotland On Sunday, 7 August 2022
Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. Read on Scotsman.com
From an early age, Jodie Findlay’s mother infused her daughter with a love of Motown, and it wasn’t long before she was singing in local theatre productions in her native Bathgate. Fast forward to 2020 and this early experience turned out to be the seed for Silvi, which saw her debut release – a rousing anthem titled That’s Not Love – picked up by BBC Introducing. Throughout the pandemic she kept up the creative momentum, sending Glasgow producer SERA songs she worked on at home, before eventually teaming up in person to record in his studio.
In February Jodi finally made her live debut with Silvi, bringing together a solid team of musicians for the band, while the single Rain extending interest from Spotify playlists, as well as Amazing Radio and EHFM. Her latest track, Burning, is a broody number, with a guitar sound which would fit nicely into a Peaky Blinders episode. It sets up a busy few weeks, with an appearance on the Fringe on the Just Get A Real Job live podcast (10 August), a headline King Tut’s show on (21 August) and festival dates including Vibration (Callendar Park), Outwith (Dunfirmline) and True North (Aberdeen) https://www.facebook.com/silvisounds
