Jeffrey Silverstein

Jeffrey Silverstein, a New Jersey native who has settled in the Pacific Northwest, plays songs from the album Doggone at Hyde Park Book Club in Leeds. The night falls within the pop, rock and indie listings at the venue.

Jeffrey Silverstein is a New Jersey-born musician working in the alt-Americana scene after moving to the Pacific Northwest. The album Doggone, made up of nine tracks, blends loner folk, cosmic country and driving, krautrock-tinged rhythms, ending with a sweep of synthesisers. Its themes include community, ageing, planting roots and the influence of place on creative work.

The record was made with a circle of Portland-based collaborators: producer and composer Ryan Oxford, bassist Alex Chapman and drummer Dana Buoy, whose previous work includes Akron/Family. Amy Dragon mastered the album. Devendra Banhart contributes guest vocals to the lead single, 'Out of Tune', a mellow country-grooved indie love song built around dreamy pedal steel.

Hyde Park Book Club, on Headingley Lane, mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts, with some theatre among its events. The evening will suit listeners who follow those styles and want to hear songs from this recent album performed in Leeds.
