Songs from Silver Jews

0 upcoming performances in New York

“Songs from Silver Jews” draws from the catalog David Berman built with Silver Jews, and later echoed through Purple Mountains, where deadpan humor and spiritual fatigue sit beside plainspoken melody. At the Bowery Ballroom in New York City, it appears as part of the sixth annual DCBday charity benefit (Jan. 4, 2026), with Hallelujah the Hills, Butch Klotz, Ezra Furman, Silver Jews, and Purple Mountains among the names in the lineup. NYC has long served as a listening post for Berman’s work, even as he stayed wary of scenes. One critical fact remains: these songs make ordinary language carry uncommon weight.
