The Story...so far...
The Flying Silos formed in 2006 and have been playing venues and events across the state of Iowa since. While the songs and talent lineup have changed over the years, the atmosphere at a Silo show hasn't! Playing everything from Adele to Zeppelin, sometimes putting our own flavor on crowd favorites, we'll take you on a musical journey and back! Have a request? Just ask and you might see us try something new for the first time!
​
Welcome to Silo Nation, we'll see you at the show!
THE FLYING SILOS:
HEATHER MACLENNAN
// vocals
Vocal range that takes the audience from A to Z - from Adele to Zeppelin. Heather can shatter glass.
JT ALLEN
// vocals & trumpet
From lead to harmony, he can sing it all! His trumpet adds that extra layer to really fill out a song!
MIKE BUBAN
// guitar, strings, vocals
​
Lead guitar and master of pretty much all things strings. Don't let the guitars on stage fool you, Mike is calm and mild mannered...until the music starts! Did we mention he sings?
AARON MARTIN
// bass & live sound
Bass playin' wizard. Hours behind the upright bass didn't prepare him to rock with these cats! Aaron also assists with mixing!
DEAN SCHMITZ
// drums & vocals
Drummer extraordinaire: able to improvise a Bonham-solo or comp the smoothest groove on command.
SCOTT NOREM
// guitar & branding
Guitarist and effects aficionado with a knack for saying the unexpected! He can also be found working in design programs updating the band branding and merch!
FLYING SILOS ALUMNI
