For a songwriter confronting some of the more unsettling facets of life in contemporary America, Silas Lowe's songs are engaging, witty, and fun. Each its own dark comedy, he fashions musical portraits of lives squandered in barrooms, spent struggling amidst failed economic policies, or lost in tragedies both natural and man-made.
A self-described "ethnic hippie and cultural yankee," Lowe spent his youth between Branford, Conn. and Mendocino, Calif. "I lost about a year of my university experience to sitting in a dorm room drinking cheap whiskey and trying to play like John Hartford, Frank Wakefield, the Holy Modal Rounders, and Bill Monroe," he says. The practice paid off -- Lowe now performs regularly out of Austin, Texas, where he has lived since 2006. He has also entertained crowds at the Kennedy Center, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Northern Lights Boreal Festival, Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion, Vancouver Folk Festival, Blackpot Festival, and numerous other festivals throughout the U.S. and Canada.
For this tour, Silas has teamed up with Andy Lentz, whose empathetic fiddling and rock solid harmonies support and enhance every song. A former resident of northern California, Andy has performed with many bands, including Rita Hosking, The Devil Makes Three, and The Brothers Comatose.
"i had the good fortune of mixing and mastering some recordings for silas lowe for my label...he's a great songwriter with a nice laid back performance style. his poetry is well crafted. he deserves to be well heard by anyone interested in folk music or picking music. he lets his music do the work." - Danny Barnes
"As a performer, Andy supports the music being played with an attentive eye to other players while flexibly moving with the feel of where things are going. His solos are thoughtful of fitting the style playedAndy is a team player, yet he can take the lead and work the room when needed, and he has a great sense of humor." - Joe Craven
