Silver Jews Tribute Show NYC - 5/24

Hey folks, I was rereading the Paris Review’s obit for David Berman in preparation for a tribute set this Memorial Day weekend in NYC - and this part really struck me. No, it won’t be a pool party, but I felt the need to at least put it out there as an opportunity for all the fragile souls who “get it” to meet up. Bikinis optional.

The show is Sunday May 24, 2026 at 8:30 at Arlene’s Grocery in Manhattan. Tix at the door and definitely online but I can’t figure out how to post the link along with the photo because I’m a musician not a Redditor but I’m sure if you google this you’ll get there.

DANSTOCK FOREVER at Arlene’s - Sunday May 24, 2026

Gonna try and play something from each album and a few quick readings from Actual Air. Will x post to the silver Jews thread as well in case anyone’s in town.

How'd you find David?

I found out about David Berman from his collaboration with The Avalanches. The song "Saturday Night Inside Out" is absolutely stunning, definitely my favourite track of theirs. But the demo of the song, "A Cowboy overflow of the Heart", where David reads the whole poem, is so beautiful to me, even moreso than the finished song, I cherish it so much.

I'm new here. I have yet to read "Actual Air" (I will) or really listen to any of his own songs (I will also), but I've given a listen to him reading his own poems, since his intonation and expression is what so drew me to him. I've never heard someone read a poem like him.

I really want to know how you found David. What led you to him? What is your very favourite piece of his? Why?

Love you all dearly :)

What words!

I always find myself late at night recalling his lyrics. Every time I read them to myself I feel as if I'm seeing things I haven't thought to see before, from what they seem to be to me.

Was reading my James Tate book and came across this

I wonder if David got the idea for his last musical projects name from this poem.

Old 2019 AMA from David Berman

Since I just found out that we can longer stalk pylonshadow (Berman's old reddit account), I figured I could put this AMA from DB in 2019. For those that haven't seen it.

Won’t soul music change, now that our souls have turned strange?

Does this phrase continue to pop up in anybody else’s head besides mine? What a great tune, what a great album!

The best kind of present

Introduced my friend to David a few years ago and this was his way of saying thanks. Drew by hand in 10 hours!

Anyone else waiting for someone to write a book on David?

I mean his story is just so rich and interesting and I know there’s so much more to learn. I’d love to read a book on his life and career.

I quoted DCB in my research proposal!

In my literature review (the study was about reading), I used the opening line of The Charm of 5:30 to illustrate the concept of reading comprehension. Thought this was fun to share
