The tribute also includes Silver Jews/Purple Mountains covers by Pete Astor (The Loft), Robert Scott (The Bats), Jad Fair, Business of Dreams, Kyle Forster (who played on the Purple Mountains album), Jeremy Jay, Diane Cluck, Daisies, Holy Wave, Caged Animals, Bill Baird, and more.

It was a chill, lovely day in the woods with the Woodsist family, including lots of collaborations, and tributes to David Berman and Jason Molina.

Woods, who backed Berman on the Purple Mountains album, played PM’s “All My Happiness is Gone” with Kyle Field on vocals, and Silver Jews’ “Random Rules” with Kevin Morby singing.

The tribute to the late Silver Jews / Purple Mountains frontman is part of the monthly ”Three Ring Bender” series at Threes Brewing.

”We remain dedicated to our core mission: to keep the words, music and visual art of David Berman in print at all times,” Drag City writes. ”At least, that’s what David told us our core mission was.”

”For all his demons, spending time in his company brought more joy and jokes and laughter than was literally imaginable.”
