songs that say something...

About Me

A throwback to the 60's, The Silson Brothers are an original band of brothers whose mission is to reinvent the songwriter's song. To take a step away from the commercial pop music of today and write songs that actually say something. Relying very heavily on their unique harmonic stylings and impressive vocal sound, their music has been described as honest, poetic, and powerful, with thought provoking lyrics that are relevant to today's changing times. Outside of a few sincere love songs, their music mostly addresses life events and perspectives, trying to find the answers to all of life's when's, why's, and how's.
"We write only what we've experienced. Our music is very personal and honest, laced with the passion of three brothers who have lived through life's hardships and travesties, and now want to share their experiences." - James Silson
"Music has been a part of our lives and a part of our souls since our earliest recollections. Difficult life situations tore us away from the Music for a while though. Since then, each one of us has carved his own path and dealt with his own demons to eventually find his way here where we all belong... back with the Music. The interesting part of it is, the same force that had so long ago pushed us apart is now the very substance that fuels our fire, inspires our words, and drives our melodies of today. Our history affected us each in different ways, we have grown into three unique beings, but through all these changes, there remain two things still held in common as brothers ... our Blood and our Music ... and those might as well be considered the same." - Kerry Silson
"Inspiration is abundant when good fortune is not. From ashes our Phoenix rises as a bird of song. However, most songs are not born by parents of tragedy but by parents of passion... good or bad. It is this passion that the artist presents in lyrical form, and if the artist is true to himself and writes his feelings... a soft, self-serving song can speak volumes to a diverse audience. We're all born into the same world, and it is only our individual paths that shape us into unique people. Inside, we are the same, and I believe that when a song truly comes from the source within... real feelings, emotions, beliefs, honesty... we can all relate to it and apply it to our individual lives. Then a song about one is a song about many." -Scott Silson
