Jeffrey Silverstein is a Portland-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist who creates music that brews together cosmic Americana, sun-soaked country-funk grooves, kosmische barroom explorations, and pastoral folk ballads into a singular, laidback, welcoming sound. Following two critically-adored full-length albums in 2020's You Become the Mountain and 2023's Western Sky Music, this year Jeffrey released the expansive EP Roseway that's named after the quiet, tree-lined Northeast Portland neighborhood where he currently lives.
For his exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World, Jeffrey shares some of his favorite recent discoveries that sit somewhere between country-funk, soft-rock, and barroom boogie, as well as songs that were on heavy rotation in the van during his recent tour with Mikaela Davis.
