Secondhand Silver

Vintage soul with a modern shine. Hailing from a shared love of raw sound and honest storytelling, Secondhand Silver is a three-piece powerhouse blending gritty rock, indie heart, and blues-soaked soul. Their sound is worn in but never worn out—rich with emotion, heavy with groove, and unmistakably authentic.

At the core of the band are three musicians with serious chemistry and even deeper roots:
• Matt Michael, whose guitar work ranges from smoky and soulful to searing and explosive, carrying the melodic weight of each track.
• Scotty Pederson, delivering bass lines that anchor the band’s sound with a warm, steady pulse and subtle intricacy.
• Joe Andreoli, driving the energy on drums with power, feel, and just the right touch of chaos.

Together, they create a sound that feels both familiar and fresh—like flipping through a dusty vinyl collection and finding a new favorite. With influences ranging from The Rolling Stones to Bob Dylan and The Black Crowes, Secondhand Silver crafts songs that dig deep into the human experience: heartbreak, resilience, nostalgia, and the unexpected beauty found in everyday moments.

Whether on stage or in the studio, Secondhand Silver delivers music with edge, heart, and soul—refined by time, but never diluted.

This isn’t just secondhand, recycled rock. This is Secondhand Silver.
