About Me

Silverstar is a four-piece alt/rock band from Portland, OR. The band was founded in 2003, and we recently changed our name from The Redemption. We have a new bassist, Jason Kemp, and a new album called "Whiskey & Lyrics" which is currently in post-production. We've been on a brief hiatus, but are ready to start booking again, so expect us soon at a rock club near you!
