Jeffrey Silverstein + Bobby Lee + Black Brunswicker

We’re delighted to welcome Jeffrey Silverstein and Bobby Lee to Kamera - with Black Brunswicker!

Jeffrey Silverstein is a songwriter from Portland, Oregon. His music lives at the intersection of the loner-folk, cosmic country and kraut-laden choogle. He’s just signed with Full Time Hobby. Having played shows throughout the US with such names as Steve Gunn, William Tyler, Rose City Band, Widowspeak and more, Silverstein is now turning his attention back across the Atlantic for co-headline shows with Bobby Lee in the UK and Sweden this summer.

Bobby Lee trades in a wide screen brand of cosmic country-folk, full of space and pawn shop guitars. There are touches of JJ Cale’s analogue Americana, the swampy groove of Tony Joe White and Richard Thompson’s sinewy, modal guitar work. Amps hum in the warm afternoon sun, kids and dogs snooze on the grass and broken drum machines keep time with the universe.

Opening this special triple bill is Black Brunswicker. Black Brunswicker is the solo project of Etta Helfrich. Originally from Indiana, USA, Etta moved to Manchester in 2020 and has been based there since. Self-described as ambient folk melancholia, Black Brunswicker is a synthesis of Etta’s musical interests: American primitive and new age guitar, ambient drones and tape-based experimentation, and ecological field recordings.

Presented by Hey! Manchester.
