You Become The Mountain (2020), his debut LP was described as 'cosmic country with a gentle sweetness' by NPR and drew comparisons to Bill Frisell/David Berman. In April of 2021 Silverstein released Torii Gates, a new EP of psych-folk songs celebrating the unknown, small joys, and learning to be comfortable with transition. It features the pedal-steel work of Barry Walker Jr (Mouth Painter/North Americans/Rose City Band), Alex Chapman (Parson Red Heads) on bass and production from Ryan Oxford (Y La Bamba, Matt Dorrien, etc.).

Heaven Forbid is a country band from The District of Columbia. Featuring the sensational sounds of Tennessee Dave's pedal steel guitar and a rowdy rhythm section built from the ashes of lounge-punk favorites Baby Bry Bry & The Apologists, these high-falutin' rootin' tootin' sons of guns from Washington, DC are cowboy crooners for urban commuters.

Kevin Knight (aka Nevin Kight) Is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and recording artist currently based in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. With over a decade’s worth of recordings, Knight’s work cross-pollinates genres as naturally as a bee collecting honey. With elements of folk, cosmic country, psych pop, American primitivism, and drone. Knight’s songs tend to ache with heart and urgency, often speaking in awe and appreciation of nature, love, and the absurdly tragic comedy of the human condition. Lots of songs about plants and dogs.
