In this special festival kickoff mini-episode of The Road to SilverVox, WFRE chats with Frederick's own Raye Boyd, the talented singer-songwriter and American Idol standout who will be performing at this year's inaugural festival on June 19!

In the final Road to SilverVox episode before the festival begins, filmmaker and actor Sasha Carrera joins host Jordan Miller to talk about the experience of shooting in and around downtown Frederick for her musical comedy film Spinsters - which screens Saturday at the Weinberg Center. And in the second half, filmmaker Zak Seidman discusses the creative process that led to his experimental horror film Crippled – which screens Friday night at Warehouse Cinemas followed by a Sunday encore at the MET.

In a special double-length episode, SilverVox Film + Music Festival Music Programming Director Dan Silver - a record producer with 25+ years’ experience in the entertainment industry – talks to host Jordan Miller about the festival’s music lineup: Cults, DIIV and Kishi Bashi on Saturday, June 20th, Frederick’s own Rae Boyd on Friday, June 19th, and a diverse selection of local performers appearing at venues all-across town. Then, writer and director Danielle Weinberg joins Jordan to talk about her short film Invasion ’53 - starring horror legend Jeffrey Combs – which screens Friday afternoon, followed by a special midnight showing Saturday night.
