The Silks have supported a wide variety of national touring artists and are on their way to becoming one too! From The Replacements in 2015, Rocky Erickson, Wanda Jackson, Dirty Heads, The Drive-By Truckers, Black Joe Lewis, Deer Tick, The Sadies, The Sheepdogs, Marcus King Band 2016, Patrick Sweany, Kenny Wayne Shepherd 2017, G Love & Special Sauce and Marshall Tucker Band in 2018.
With the release of their Paul Westerberg produced debut album, Last American Band at the tail end of 2013, The Silks continued building on their following with constant gigs throughout 2014. All kinds of gigs. With a work ethic as old-school as their whole vibe, most of their shows are of the “all nighter” variety. After two more years of touring, writing and recording, the second album Turn Me On produced by The Silks & Steve Rizzo proved there was still plenty of fuel left in the tank. Released in the summer of 2015, their sound matured while the gigs progressed as captured in the video for “Live And Learn”.
As of 2018 with two consecutive Boston Music Awards under their belts for “Blues Artist of the Year” 2016 & 2017, The Silks are currently celebrating the release of their third album Live! Bootleg featuring fan favorites from both studio albums. The Silks is a band with a sound that continues to grow both musically and physically. The Silks now consists of Tyler-James Kelly, Jonas Parmelee, Uncle Sam Jodrey and newest member Johnny Trama on guitar.
Keep your eyes and ears out for new music from The Silks this Summer!
