Bio
SilOHs began as Singer/Songwriter Jake Witt's Indie Folk-Rock solo project. With lazy melodies, lush guitars and thundering toms, SilOHs' alt-country sound is a call to Midwestern revival, drenched in reverb and the ambience of shoe-gaze music... Witt's songs about lost summers in the rural Rust Belt and ghost stories from his midwestern roots grew out of the 2009 summer sessions at Soda Form Studio in Seattle, WA. On the debut release, Silos L.P. Witt collaborated with ex-bandmate Jonas DeVarona (ex Throw Me The Statue) on drums... On SilOH's follow-up release Shed Your Summer Shell (out Jan 2011) Witt has taken over the reigns on drums and is joined by 3 new band members... Live, SilOHs has been playing bills with artists the likes of Moondoggies (Hardly Art) Frontier Ruckus (Ramseur Records) and Roadside Graves, in-studio performances on KEXP and currated shows by Seattle's City Arts Magazine and Seattle Weekly. ..

Hey guys, saw your set at Georgetown...it was honestly great. I felt like it fit the atmosphere better than most other bands that were there.
