Artist Information
Stolen Silver is the musical culmination of a decade-long friendship between songwriters Levi Britton and Dan Myers. It's a union that dates back to their days as roommates in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, one that entails a history as previous touring bandmates, collaborators and, most importantly, singers. Their voices are instruments, seemingly effortless and vital to their mutual craft. On their self-titled album co-produced with John Ovnik, their styles swerve along a spectrum that spans from Indie-Folk to Americana, from Pop-Rock to more explorative soundtrack moments where the spaces in the songs are equally important to their narrative, undoubtedly due to Myers' work as a film composer. Their sound and catalog has steadily evolved, as has their lineup. Since their initial vision of a folk duo, they've expanded to a rotating five-piece assembly, a collection of seasoned multi-instrumentalists and drummers including guitarist/vocalist Christopher Sterr. This latest chapter takes them into unfamiliar territory both in the studio and on the stage, where ideas are fresh and nothing is left unattempted. Dan resides in Tiffin, OH while Levi hails from Traverse City, Michigan- a circumstance that forces them out on the road while leaving plenty of room for both immediacy and intimacy to take shape.
They've earned the seal of approval from WXRT and WLUW Radio, Windy City Live, WGN-TV, American Way, The Chicago Tribune, and New York Times as they released their follow-up, the anticipated full-length We Have Everything / We Have Nothing. The album is a dense new offering of twelve songs- singles like the uplifting endurance rocker “Prefontaine”, the dramatic “Awake And Alive”, and the vulnerable harmony-laden ‘I Stay Lonely’ flirt with radio potential while the arrangements here are rich and the songs carry an artistic depth that is uncompromising. We Have Everything / We Have Nothing represents a group that stands to build the perfect acoustic facade while expertly demolishing it, rising in it's place a structure of challenging hooks, golden-layered harmonies, and a latticework of electric guitar atmospheres and percussive textures.
For the last 8 years Stolen Silver has been the official opening act of Gary Sinise & the Lt Dan Band, and has deeply enjoyed making music for service members and their families all over the US and beyond.
