Los Angeles based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Silas Nello has been a staple of the indie-Americana scene for nearly a decade, and he shows no signs of slowing down. A native of Daingerfield, TX, Nello’s upbringing in a pastoral East Texas town left him with a deep respect for tradition and a powerful need to be on the move. His career has seen him tour across both the US and the United Kingdom, playing festival bills, club shows, record stores, and intimate listening rooms in both countries. Often joined onstage by a rotating cast of brilliant session players, Nello’s singular blend of blues, rock, and folk music pushes the notion of genre to the breaking point.

Nello’s debut album, Out of the Light, set the tone for his genre-bending, introspective brand of songwriting. Recorded with personnel from The Texas Gentlemen in Dallas’ Modern Electric Sound Recorders (Leon Bridges, Paul Cauthen) and released on Hand Drawn Records, the album garnered critical acclaim and airplay from NPR affiliate stations and set him on a regional touring circuit. His second full-length endeavor, Easy Listening For Uneasy People, represented a breakaway from the large-band format, with a lengthy collection of songs held together by the strength of Nello’s voice and subtle guitar contributions from longtime bandmate Robert Cody Maxwell. These releases cemented Nello as a fixture of the Dallas scene, which would see him share the stage with national touring acts including Paul Cauthen, Lilly Hiatt, Cordovas, and Leigh Nash of Sixpence None the Richer.

Nello’s forthcoming EP release, From West Hollywood, reflects both his move to Los Angeles and a reimagining of road worn material - a stripped back, lyric-focused presentation with an emphasis on serving the song. Though he’s no stranger to large productions, Nello has doubled-down on independent releases and self-production, drawing on a do-it-yourself ethos and a relentless work ethic.  Always moving forward, Nello has set his sights on a series of live performances in support of the his upcoming EP releases and recent singles, including both regional dates in his new home state of California and across the US.
