Silver Jews / Purple Mountains leader David Berman would’ve turned 57 on January 4, 2024 — he died in 2019 — but fans around the world celebrate his life and music on that day, which has since been dubbed DCBday.
In NYC, there will be a DCBday show at Bowery Ballroom, where they will celebrate Silver Jews’ classic third album, American Water (which just turned 25).
