The Silos

Drew Glackin was a helluva guy. He was an incredible musician and a friend to all he met. His death is a damning indictment of our failed health care system, in that Drew did not have health insurance. Like many other musicians who are vulnerable in this way, Drew avoided going to the doctor for fear of what he'd find out. Simply put, if Drew had health insurance, he'd most likely be alive today.

Drew was the bass and pedal steel player for The Silos, one the great unsung roots rock bands of the last 20 years. Fronted by Walter Salas-Humara, The Silos are now on Bloodshot Records. http://thesilos.net/

Weinland is a Portland OR -- based americana band formed around the songs of John Adam Weinland Shearer...further proof that Portland is ridiculously blessed with an abundance of great indie folk rock. For fans of Elliot Smith and Goldrush-era Neil Young.
