Smilo & the Ghost is an Americana-grit folk band born from the rustbelt and rooted in redemption. Fronted by singer-songwriter Tyler Smilo, the band blends raw lyricism with vintage tones, cinematic storytelling, and a touch of cosmic twang. Their sound drifts somewhere between dusty desert highways and dimly lit city bars — a fusion of folk, alt-country, and soul with deep emotional bite.
Formed in Erie, PA in 2016, Smilo & the Ghost have shared stages with Grammy winners, national acts, and underground legends alike. Their discography includes Ghost Writers, Fingers Crossed & Godspeed, and the live album Live from PACA, with their newest record Twang & Fire capturing both fire and fragility in a post-pandemic world. Smilo’s lyrics are deeply personal, often exploring recovery, survival, and the ghosts we carry — because he's lived it.
More than a band, Smilo & the Ghost is a movement of misfits, musicians, and truth-tellers. Whether it's on stage or on the record, the band invites you to feel something real — and maybe even find a piece of yourself in the process.
The band’s recording and performing personnel have included a “who’s who” of regional talent, currently condensed down to the core lineup: Tyler Smilo - Guitar, Vocals; Adam McKillip - Mandolin, Vocals ; Jassen Wilber - Bass Guitar; and Dominick DeCecco- Banjo, Vocals
