Jesse Malin — East Village legend, seminal figure in New York hardcore, and collaborator with Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Green Day, and Lucinda Williams — suffered a rare spinal stroke in 2023 that left him paralyzed from the waist down.
Silver Manhattan is his return to the stage: a live memoir with a full band, woven through with songs from across his career, tracing the arc from Queens kid to punk icon to triumphant comeback.
