about

This is the accompanying music album to The North Cafe Series Vol 1, where you can hear all of the musical excerpts that are interwoven in to the story episodes, in full.

About The North Cafe Project:

Conceived of and created across continents in the aftermath of a global pandemic, The North Café Project is the brainchild of instrumentalist, John Silvers (USA/UK), who has collaborated with co-founder and musician, Elfin Bow (UK), sound designer and producer, Woody Woodward (UK), visual artist, Gus Lopez (USA) and mastering engineer, Derek Smyth (AUS) to create a unique and intimate offering of story and music.

At a time of division and isolation, this global effort to unite and uplift, is a double album release comprising both an episodic story in four parts, with instrumental musical excerpts, and an accompanying album of the full compositions by John Silvers (ukulele) and Elfin Bow (piano).

Inspired by people who have positively impacted the lives of John and Elfin, the narrative follows characters who interact inside The North Café. Written by John Silvers and Elfin Bow and narrated by Elfin Bow, this is the first two of four double album releases, with the next release planned for December this year.

In anticipation of the release and its potential impact on those who listen, John Silvers says,

“The North Cafe Project is first and foremost a project of faith in humanity. It is, in my opinion, a much needed warm hug to a world that feels like it’s getting colder and colder. It’s about people and the differences they make in the lives of others. The small acts of love that are so often dismissed or unnoticed, but that make the biggest difference of all. It is my greatest hope that these releases become a nice warm blanket for those who need it most.”
