The Silos are an alternative country band that emerged with a distinct sound blending Americana, heartland rock, and alternative rock. The group was formed in 1985 by Walter Salas-Humara and Bob Rupe in New York City. The band's music is characterized by its roots rock stylings, with narrative lyrics that often reflect on life's simplicities and its complications. After releasing their critically acclaimed album "Cuba" in 1987, which helped define the burgeoning genre of Americana, The Silos have continued to produce music that resonates with both a sense of gritty authenticity and introspective songwriting.

Through various lineup changes over the years, Walter Salas-Humara has remained the central figure of the band, carrying The Silos' name forward with consistent touring and recording. Albums like "Come on Like the Fast Lane" and "When The Telephone Rings" showcase their evolution while maintaining the foundational elements that have always defined their sound. The Silos have managed to maintain a dedicated fan base over the decades, respected by peers and critics alike for their unwavering dedication to their craft and the sincerity of their performances. With releases like "Florizona" and "Susan Across the Ocean," The Silos reinforce their place as enduring figures in the landscape of American roots music.
