Could Philly’s Own Silvertide Getting Back Together!?!

Just as I am reminiscing about Silvertide playing the TLA in 2013, I see this post on Silvertide’s facebook page: facebook: How GREAT would that be? Silvertide – Blue Jeans…

How GREAT would that be?

Silvertide - Blue Jeans -TLA Reunion Show

At the Troc in 2004

Why the gig 10 years ago was so important

This night was important for a number of reasons; 1) this was the first show to feature all of the original members of Silvertide performing on the same stage together in close to 6 years, 2) ‘Tide played their debut album ‘Show and Tell’ in its entirety, including some of the bonus tracks that were only available on the Japanese release, 3) Robbie Bennett, the brilliant, multi-instrumentalist from Delco, who replaced Nick Perri on lead guitar in Silvertide after Nick left for Shinedown also performed a couple of songs with the band that night. Robbie has been the keyboardist, pianist, and rhythm guitarist for Grammy award winning Philly band The War on Drugs since 2010. Lasty, this would ultimately be the last performance of the original Silvertide line-up here in their hometown of Philadelphia. The fellas would go on to play 2 more shows at the Machine Shop in Flint, Michigan in September of 2013 and one more at the then Sands Event Center in Bethlehem – making them their last shows together, for now.
