“EBULLIANT” (BLUEGRASS SITUATION) NYC-BASED AMERICANA BAND SILVER CITY BOUND TO TOUR IN TURKEY AND AZERBAIJAN FOR CROSS-CULTURAL COLLABORATION, BENEFIT FOR SYRIAN REFUGEES
NYC BON VOYAGE CONCERT MAY 11 AT BARBES
“TAKE MY PICTURE” MUSIC VIDEO TO PREMIERE MAY 5 AS EP HITS BANDCAMP’S TOP TEN AMERICANA ALBUMS CHART
“Silver City Bound has their own loose-limbed charm...serving up a sprightly mixture of folk, country, mariachi, and more." - The New Yorker
“New York’s Silver City Bound play a fun, eclectic brand of Americana that blends in folk, zydeco and a bit of indie rock.” – Pop Matters
"Love the whole spirit of it." -Bob Harris, BBC
Following the recent and heralded release of its EP ‘Take My Picture,’ which reached the top ten of Bandcamp’s Americana chart, Silver City Bound will be traveling to Azerbaijan to do concerts and workshops on behalf of the U.S. Department of State's Arts Envoy Program. While in Azerbaijan, the band will collaborate with local musicians and perform at high profile festival America Days.
On their way to Azerbaijan, the band will stop in Istanbul, Turkey to collaborate with Country For Syria May 14 and 15. Based in Istanbul, Country For Syria is comprised of American, Turkish, and Syrian musicians who play a mix of American and Arabic folk music and do performances and collaborations with Syrian refugees all over Turkey. Like Silver City Bound, an accordion is featured prominently in the band.
The proceeds will go to Istanbul & I, an organization that is focused on helping refugees in Istanbul from various countries build a positive relationship with the city and sponsoring creative projects.
Silver City Bound's intent is both to raise money and awareness for the Syrian refugee crisis as well as to show strength and solidarity with other young artists living and working in Istanbul. Together, they will celebrate the positive cultural power of music and hopefully plant the seeds for further collaborative work. Silver City Bound's mission is to promote cross-cultural collaboration and dialogue through American roots music.
A kick-off concert at Barbes in Brooklyn is planned at 9 pm on May 11, the site of the band’s overflowing EP release show. On May 5, a new music video for title track “Take My Picture” will be premiered.

SILVER CITY BOUND EARNING PRAISE AS ONE OF NYC’S PREMIER AMERICANA BANDS
NEW EP ‘TAKE MY PICTURE’ OUT TODAY
BAND IS AZERBAIJAN BOUND IN MAY WITH STATE DEPARTMENT’S ARTS ENVOY PROGRAM
Though they are as at home performing at Lincoln Center or Brooklyn Bowl as in dive bars, Silver City Bound’s comfort level will be tested as they are set to join a U.S. State Department Arts Envoy tour of Azerbaijan on May 12-22. The band will perform festival concerts in Baku and travel around the country, collaborating with local musicians. The band, formerly known as the Amigos, has previously toured for the State Department in China, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.
Silver City Bound’s new EP ‘Take My Picture’ is out today and they will perform tonight at Brooklyn’s Barbes. According to Pop Matters, “New York’s Silver City Bound play a fun, eclectic brand of Americana that blends in folk, zydeco and a bit of indie rock.”
The Bluegrass Situation calls them “ebullient.”
Elmore Mag says, “With a sound driven by a jarringly poignant accordion and a howling electric guitar, Silver City Bound is provides the perfect soundtrack for roadtripping.”
The Arts Envoy Program shares the best of the U.S. arts community with the world to foster cross-cultural understanding and collaboration and to demonstrate shared values and aspirations. American arts professionals-- including performing artists, visual artists, poets, playwrights, theatrical and film directors, curators, and others-- travel overseas to conduct workshops, give performances, and mentor young people. Programs seek to connect with international publics who might not otherwise have the opportunity to engage with American arts professionals.

SILVER CITY BOUND SET COURSE TO CROSS GENRES WITH NEW EP 'TAKE MY PICTURE' OUT MARCH 4
NYC’s Silver City Bound will release their new EP, Take My Picture, on March 4th.
Occupying a unique intersection where folk, indie rock, Zydeco, and
North American roots music meet, the musicians take a left-of-center
approach to their sound. Vocalist and songwriter Sam Reider, who was
trained as a jazz pianist, plays the accordion, for starters. He and
guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Justin Poindexter lead the band and are
joined by bassist Noah Garabedian, drummer Will Clark. The band's Diner
in the Sky was named the Best Americana Album of 2015 by the Independent
Music Awards.
Formerly known as the Amigos, Silver City Bound have earned accolades for their "sprightly picture of folk, country, mariachi and more" (The New Yorker), a sound that the Huffington Post calls "Americana at its best." Along the way, they've performed at Lincoln Center, The Philadelphia Folk Festival, Folk Alliance, as well on bills with the Carolina Chocolate Drops, Amy Helm and Sam Bush. Equally at home in indie rock dive bars and cultural institutions and inspired by the diversity of sounds in NYC, they're a breath of fresh air, stirring unexpected instruments and wide-ranging influences into their own mixing pot. Named for a Lead Belly song, the band will play an EP release show March 4 at Brooklyn’s Barbes.
Take My Picture casts a wide net, from the Jayhawks-worthy harmonies of opening track "Take My Picture" to the soulful twang of "Do Right," a cover of Aretha Franklin's "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man." Fueled by the blend of Reider and Poindexter's voices, the band recalls the classic sounds of Flying Burrito Brothers while also uncovering new ground, a move that puts them more in line with modern-day Americana bands like the Felice Brothers.
