The Silver Jews

The Silver Jews was an American indie rock band formed in the early 1990s by musician David Berman. Known for their introspective lyrics, melodic guitar work, and a blend of folk and alternative influences, they created music that often explored themes of melancholy, humor, and introspection. Though relatively low-profile during their active years, they garnered critical acclaim for their thoughtful songwriting and poetic lyricism. The band disbanded in 2009 following Berman’s passing, leaving behind a legacy of influential, emotionally resonant music within the indie and alternative scenes.
