THREE FOR SILVER & GUESTS

Three For Silver is a tatterdemalion ensemble of rotating musicians led by Lucas Warford, “the acid baby of Tom Waits and Les Claypool,” as NW legend Baby Gramps called him. It’s an aggressively original band that is impervious to easy description. PR people often use phrases like Mythic Americana, Doomfolk, or Apocalypso. Some of those are pretty good, but they still just feel like the desperate necessities of someone forced to fill out a form labelled “genre”. Three For Silver features one-of-a-kind instruments you’ve never seen playing styles mixed in ways you’ve never heard. The band has hit the road since 2013, and their monomaniacal devotion has already led them all over the USA and the world, from Accordion Festivals in Vienna to Modern Music Expos in Russia, and even partnering with the US State Department for ongoing cultural exchange tours to countries thirsty for truly original American music. Three For Silver returns with a new album and a new sound! This tour debuts their 7th album “Oh! For a Muse of Fire”, and finds the band tighter than ever before. This long revolving and mutating band has settled down for a moment to feature the line-up of Lucas (strings), Mark (drums), Del (woodwind), and Strangely (accordion). After honing a batch of new material throughout the fall tour of 2025, they went directly into the studio to capture themselves at the height of tightness.“ Oh! For a Muse of Fire” is a freak rock nautical voyage featuring punchy songs, unlikely instruments, and, as ever, Lucas’ signature vocal growl and virtuosic bass. It’s been said that life is about learning to dance in the rain, but given the state of the world, this album rather asks if we can polka in a firestorm.
