The Silos

Midweek at Mercury Lounge, The Silos are set to turn an ordinary Wednesday night into a folk-infused pilgrimage for the discerning eardrum. With a history as storied as an East Village dive, this band has been quietly amping up the scene with their rootsy, heartstring-tugging melodies. Sharing the bill is Jon Langford, a man whose presence in the folk and punk spheres is as legendary as the Brooklyn Bridge. For just $20 in advance, you could be rubbing shoulders with New York’s indie elite, lamenting love lost and finding solace in the strum of a guitar. It’s the kind of night that makes you forget you’re standing in a room full of strangers, united by the universal language of music. Don’t be the one reading about it the next day—be there to live it.
