Biography
Sillken is an acoustic/americana/bluegrass duo from Vancouver, Canada.
Their name stands for the first name of the musicians Michele + Ken.
Carving out a niche for themselves, Sillken brings to the stage personality and panache with an overlay of chic and reality with their fusion of rootsy folk pop-rock. Sillken's music is eclectic, ranging from heart wrenching lyrics to pure fun, all wrapped up in a clean delivery. Proudly replicating no one, their songs are fresh and sweet resisting cookie cutter formulae. Rooted in brutal honesty, autobiography, fiction, fact and the craft of storytelling, Sillken's music reflects 'outside of the box' production, setting them apart yet reminiscent of legends such as Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen, Mazzie Star, Neil Young, Emmy Lou Harris, Nico-Christa Päffgen, and Tom Waits.
