Smilo and The Ghost

Smilo and the Ghost delivers hard-driving, old-time influenced folk-rock.

Tyler Smilo’s emotionally charged lyrics and vocals are backed up by the virtuosity of Jassen Wilber (bass guitar) and Adam McKillip (mandolin, vocals). Their set moves from gritty hard-luck foot stompers to triumphant ballads. The recent addition of Dominick DeCecco on banjo has allowed for a deeper exploration of the band’s bluegrass and country chops. Smilo and the Ghost combine songs meant for singing and dancing with charismatic, high-energy performing on stage.

Smilo and the Ghost has opened for national acts including Grammy winners Dan + Shay and alt-rock legends 10,000 Maniacs.

(Smilo and the Ghost will also present two or three songs in the 10am service at Grass Lake United Methodist Church, 449 E Michigan Ave, on Sunday, Oct 12.)
