Smilo and The Ghost
Performing: August 16 at The Meeting House Stage
F ormed in 2016, Smilo and the Ghost have been delivering hard-driving, old-time influenced folk-rock to crowds around the Northeast. Their debut album, Ghost Writers, was voted one of the “Top Three Albums of 2018” by the Erie Reader. Since then, Smilo and the Ghost have opened for national acts like Grammy Award Winning country duo Dan + Shay and alt-
rock legends 10,000 Maniacs.
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; Dominick DeCecco- Banjo, Vocals
Smilo’s 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 “Nothing’s Changed” and “Big Guns” to triumphant ballads like “Save Me” and “There’s Nothing Left.” All of which are highlights of Smilo & the Ghost live shows. The band’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 band’s 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 Reader’s “Top Three Albums of 2021.” The band isn’t 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. They’re as comfortable on the main stage as they are in the corner of a local bar and shouldn’t be missed at either venue.
DAVE WASKOWSKI THE HOUSE OF PASTA
Give These Long Pastas a Twirl
The House of Pasta family is overjoyed to have the opportunity to be a vendor
once again at Shaker Woods Festival! We feature 10 Gourmet Flavored Handmade long pastas (Kosher approved) using all natural ingredients including 100% GMO Free semolina flour, fresh whole eggs and the most robust herbs and spices; no preservatives or salt added. We also employ olde time kneading and rolling methods to produce small batches of our linguini and fettuccini pasta products. Then, we dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures to retain its natural goodness and flavor and to maintain the same artisan quality and value as fresh pasta. These simplistic and painstaking steps create an authentic homemade texture and discerning taste which cannot be duplicated by mass pasta producers. Our homemade easy-to-cook flavored pastas will be the spectacular highlight of your dinner table!
We invite you to stop by our #4 booth at this year’s Shaker Woods Festival and smell the pasta! Seriously, you’ve never smelled anything like it!
Dave and his wife, Sue live in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio and have previously owned a restaurant where this pasta was served. Customer response was fantastic and we can mail order our pasta to almost anywhere in the United States of America, @houseofpasta.net or you can contact us directly at golddustbbq@aol.com
