Little Silver plays Best Video Film & Cultural Center on Sat., Mar. 14. The show starts at 7 PM and the cover is $10. (This show has been rescheduled from Jan. 23 due to unforeseen circumstances.) The Tines (solo) will open.
Little Silver, then based in Brooklyn (but now in Spring Glen in Hamden), released their debut album “Somewhere You Found My Name” July, 2017. Built around the ethereal vocals of married duo Erika Simonian and Steve Curtis, “Somewhere You Found My Name” is a gorgeous collection of original songs which confront the shifting landscape of gaining and losing loved ones, changes in perspective, and the uncertainty of life itself. Little Silver’s sparse arrangements and beautifully understated vocals bring these everyday truths to life.
Simonian and Curtis co-wrote all of the material on the new album. The experience of being partners in both life and music informs the themes of growth, loss, commitment, and the evolution of relationships that are woven throughout “Somewhere You Found My Name.” The beauty in Little Silver’s music is the way that they collaborate and create as a couple, working through life’s changes and encouraging the listener to process these experiences along with them.
They’re currently working on a new record at Firehouse 12 in New Haven. Little Silver will be in full band mode for this show with Michael Paolucci on drums, Mike Tepper on bass, and Kevin Brady on keys.
The Tines (solo)—aka New Haven Connecticut’s Sam Carlson—writes with an acerbic punch. With incisive and often satirical lyrics he explores a fascination with the mundane, good and bad uses of time, and a fist full of bummers. He has worked in different capacities with a variety of bands including but not limited to: Ports of Spain, Laundry Day, The Proud Flesh, 10K Blades, Rob Carlson and Benefit Street, and Winter White
