Silver Starling: Review & Video

Photo by Kyle Raven

Music is often described as the vernacular of the human soul and that’s a perfect description of Silver Starling. Through the genius of Marcus Paquin, his beautiful and equally as talented wife, Marika Anthony-Shaw, passionate drummer, Liam O’Neil, sweet bassist, Peter X and mesmerizing guitarist, Gab Lambert, Silver Starling fronts the stage with a powerful emotion-driven presence. I’m still reeling from their set at Canteen on Saturday, but it wasn’t till later that night I named them my new favorite band of 2009. After witnessing them play Blind live I thought I was going to literally explode with love - what a great band!

A big thanks to everyone who stopped by, Basically Brian, and the beautiful Silver Starling.
