Self-Portrait: Jeffrey Silverstein

Artwork by Mickey Miles

For our Self-Portrait series, we invite our favorite musicians to create an audio depiction of themselves through songs from the past and present.

Jeffrey Silverstein whose new record Western Sky Music harmonizes mystical meditative phenomena and twangy country instrumentalism links up for a self-portraying playlist of backwoods folk and pedal-steelin’ rarities.

“these are songs that trace my continued interest/love of country music and the pedal-steel guitar. familiar favorites and deep cuts. i spin many of them during regular dj sets here in town. never tire of hearing different takes on 'how i got to memphis' - a tune that has recently become a staple of my live set.”
