Happy Hour w. Smilo and the Ghost at Woodlands Tavern

Smilos emotionally charged lyrics and vocals are backed up by the virtuosity of Wilber (who has toured the world with American blues guitarist Bernard Allison) and McKillip. Their setlist moves between gritty, hard-luck foot stompers like Nothings Changed and Big Guns to triumphant ballads like Save Me and Theres Nothing Left. All of which are highlights of Smilo s songs share Americana country/rock DNA with Trampled by Turtles, Dawes, and Ryan Bingham, while maintaining a voice all their own. The recent addition of DeCecco on banjo has allowed for a deeper exploration of the bands bluegrass and country chops. These old-timey roots are on full display in their highly-anticipated album, Fingers Crossed and Godspeed, which has been selected as one of Erie Readers Top Three Albums of 2021. The band isnt sitting still, though, also recording a live album in early 2022. Smilo and the Ghost combine songs meant for singing and dancing with charismatic, high-energy performing on stage https://www.smiloandtheghost.com/https://www.facebook.com/smiloandtheghosthttps://www.instagram.com/smiloandtheghost/https://open.spotify.com/artist/4q1s4zwT6WOP2FGnnrQdJU?si=8wvcDDouRK2rCzQ9GEXrGw
