About David Berman
American musician, singer-songwriter and poet
David Cloud Berman was an American musician, singer-songwriter, and poet. He founded the indie rock band Silver Jews and remained its only constant member, alongside Pavement’s Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich. Berman worked across music and poetry, and Silver Jews became the project most closely associated with his name. His writing and lyrics are linked to the same dry, observant sensibility that shaped his work as a poet and songwriter.
