Seamlessly blending bluegrass, jazz and Americana into the proverbial music-your-father-wish-he-could-have-shared-with-you-but-you-were-too-ignorant-to-pay-attention-to.

The time has come. You're not that kid anymore, and your dad really wants to hang out. So tell him about The Tenderbellies and drag his ass down to a bar near you for a stiff drink and great tunes.

Silence_Castor is the electronic solo project of Nate Hicks. After spending most of his life playing guitar and writing folk and punk music in bands here and there, he picked up a few Korg Volcas and pretty soon, he had amassed a full setup of synths, sequencers, and drum machines. All needles point up. Ascend, ascend, ascend.

Mihali Savoulidis is the lead singer and guitarist for Vermont rock quartet, Twiddle.  Barely 30 years old, the Jersey native has already drawn crowds at such notable rock shrines as Red Rocks, The Capitol Theatre and Bonnaroo. Twiddle’s fan base is growing rapidly, and Mihali’s signature vocals and guitar work are more than partly responsible for this undeniable momentum. 

Most laud Mihali for his dexterity on guitar, but it’s his lyrics and songwriting capabilities which set his solo act apart. It is the soul of what many hope to find in a solo act.  His mastery of pedals, specifically the repetitive phenomena known as “looping,” beat boxing, and guitar riffs, all prep a multi-textured canvas for song. Mihali’s words are genuine. Shaped by his journey through grief and redemption, he writes songs that serve as a light to many who find themselves lost in their own darkness. 

“I've been struggling for way way too long
It's time for a change I’m ready to move on.
And, yes, I'm scared to right all my wrongs.
But I'll be ok-  I'm stronger than I thought.”
- Lost in the Cold

Inspired by artists including Kurt Cobain, Bradley Nowell and Bob Marley, Mihali’s music carries a passionate intent for good.  During his twelve years with Twiddle, Mihali has shared the stage with members of Phish, Blues Traveler, Big Gigantic, Matisyahu, Nahko and Medicine for the People, Trevor Hall and jammed with his all-time favorite guitar player, Jamaican reggae legend, Ernest Ranglin, just to name a few. Mihali currently resides in the green mountains of Vermont, where he's lived since he met his brothers in Twiddle in 2004. When not on tour he can usually be found writing music in the company and of his pride and joy, his wife, daughter, and three golden retrievers.
