From 1997-2002 there was a roots rockin’ DC area band called the Hard-Core Troubadours. We played a variety of roots rock, country swing, surf, cowpunk, texas blues, alt country, and rockabilly. There were reunions in 2006 and 2012. Recently we reunited to play for a friend’s memorial party. We all realized we missed playing those great songs together and have decided to fire it up again, plus add some new stuff. We recently played a sold out show at Hank Dietle’s Tavern with The Shambles and it went absolutely great! We’re eager to continue doing occasional shows.

<h1><a href="https://thesilos.net/home" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Walter Salas-Humara</a></h1>
Born to Cuban exiles and raised in Fort Lauderdale, founded The Silos in 1985 after cutting his teeth in Gainesville’s college scene. Blending Southern rock warmth with New York’s avant-garde edge, The Silos’ early albums—About Her Steps (1986), Cuba (1987), and The Silos (1990)—became cornerstones of the emerging alt-country movement, earning Rolling Stone’s 1987 Critics’ Poll for Best New American Band.
Over the decades, Salas-Humara has collaborated with Alejandro Escovedo, Michael Hall, and many others, releasing acclaimed records like Hasta la Victoria!, Curve and Shake, and WALTERIO. His music merges vivid storytelling, poetic realism, and raw emotion across folk, punk, and Americana traditions.
Also a visual artist, Salas-Humara brings the same humor, heart, and authenticity to his paintings that define his songs—charting a lifelong exploration of American life, both sonic and visual.

His performance and recording credits include collaborations with the Knoxville Grass (“Painted Lady”), country hitmaker Donna Fargo, Claire Lynch, John Starling, the Virginia Squires, and many others. His original song “Southern Train” was featured in the songwriter showcase at the 2015 IBMA World of Bluegrass.
Today, Gary performs with East of Monroe (bluegrass/Americana), The Hula Monsters (swing/roots), and Ferguson &amp; Ferguson (bluegrass/Americana). Ferguson &amp; Ferguson toured Ireland in 2014 and recently released their EP “Some Bridges,” recorded with Ron Stewart and Mark Schatz, and engineered by George Hodgkiss. Gary also produced East of Monroe’s debut album “By the River’s Edge,” contributing six of his own songs to the project.
A versatile musician, Gary plays acoustic and electric guitar, mandolin, upright bass, and electric bass, bringing depth and authenticity to every performance.
<hr>
Ira moved to the Washington, DC area in 1986 to be part of its vibrant bluegrass scene and has since become a cornerstone of the region’s roots music community. A National Bluegrass Banjo Champion (1992) and multiple Washington Area Music Association “Wammie” Award winner, he has performed with numerous bands, appeared on dozens of recordings, and helped countless musicians find their voices on banjo, guitar, and bass.
While bluegrass lies at the heart of his musical identity, Ira’s playing embraces the wider world of American roots music, including western swing, classic country, jazz, blues, folk, and early rock ’n’ roll. He currently appears with several Washington-area groups, including Tex Rubinowitz, Tom Mindte, and the Original Dixieland Rock ’n’ Roll Band, Big Howdy, Karen Collins and the Backroads Band, The Blue Moon Cowgirls, and The Oklahoma Twisters.
