Led by singer and songwriter Brad Pouleson, the band has released two studio albums, “Better Side of Life” in 2023 and “This Crazy World” in 2019, both of which have garnered regular airplay on Iowa radio stations. On stage, the band brings a wall of sound that can either rock the house or bring things down and intimate. Their songs, albums and performances are a journey and you’ll want to come along for the ride.

With the release of their second album “Better Side of Life” in the summer of 2023, Brad and the Big Wave have taken their signature sound to new heights. Since thy began in 2017, the band has succeeded at creating a deeply expressive musical sound. Led by singer, musician and songwriter, Brad Pouleson, the band can simultaneously switch from an intricate, soul-searching song, to a soothing ballad, to music that rocks the house. Drawing upon the diverse talents of veteran bandmembers John Kramer on bass, Doug Langbehn on keyboards, Connor Wade on percussion, as well as the breakout new talent, vocalist Katelyn Halverson, Brad and the Big Wave continues to forge new ground. Their debut album “This Crazy World”, released in the spring of 2019, quickly garnered attention on the airwaves.

About:

Saint Silver is a 6-piece Midwest rock band from Iowa City, USA. The band formed in 2022 from a collection of X-gen misfits who met in Josh Silver’s basement and who all just couldn’t get enough Dead, Dylan, Marley, Beatles, and Neil Young. Performing original songs and covers, they fuse grass roots folk blues and psychedelic rawk with infectious grooves and a touch of reggae that will make you want to think, feel, and dance.
