Purple Mountains songs

0 upcoming performances in New York

“Purple Mountains songs” gathers material from David Berman’s late-period writing, where plainspoken details turn toward grief, humor, and self-scrutiny. Presented at The Bowery Ballroom in New York, it sits inside the city’s long tradition of benefit shows that double as living archives, with performers including Hallelujah the Hills, Butch Klotz, Ezra Furman, Silver Jews, and Purple Mountains. The set is framed by the 6th annual DCBday charity event on January 4, 2026, a night built around interpreting Berman’s catalog. The critical fact is that these songs reward careful listening more than volume.
