Description
David Berman is a Virginia-born singer-songwriter and poet who has achieved acclaim for a series of independent rock albums recorded with his band the Silver Jews and for a widely celebrated debut collection of poetry, Actual Air (1999). Known for his surreal and visionary lyrical style, his tone-deaf vocals, and his notorious stage fright, Berman only began touring regularly with the Silver Jews in 2006, though he has been somewhat more active as a visiting writer at institutions such as the University of Georgia.
