“Blue Shadows on the Trail” is the second of two songs released off their newest album, Amigos. “Song for Tom Petty” premiered through American Songwriter on May 12th.

The Satin Cowboy is Emmy-winning film and television composer Silas Hite. The Seven Deadly Sins are his ever changing but always talented guest musicians, comprised of friends and family.  On Amigos, his featured guests include Sam Nelson (Ricky Nelson's son) and celebrated indie rocker Bhi Bhiman.  Having made a career out of selling catchy melodies to the likes of Apple, Disney, and PIXAR, Silas fills his latest album with melodies that seem both fresh and yet oddly personal and familiar.

This rootsy-rock band formed from the desolate deserts of Arizona to the southern coast of California, spanning more than 10 years in the making. The music is a unique blend of Southwest Americana. The new album, Amigos, from The Satin Cowboy is the band’s third full-length release. Amigos explores friendship, loneliness, and love in a blend of bluegrass, old-school country, and folk.  Influences like John Prine and The Travelling Wilburys can be heard merging with modern, confessional troubadours like Jason Isbell and Conor Oberst.

Hite has music in his DNA. He began his career co-scoring blockbuster and independent films with his uncle, noted composer Mark Mothersbaugh of DEVO.  

Now Silas’s music plays in television shows around the world, from kids shows like Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue! and Disney’s Dance-A-Lot Robot, to adult shows such as Blue Mountain State, Duck Dynasty, and Chef's Table.  He has scored hundreds of commercials earning him an Emmy, a Cannes Gold Lion, and Adweek's Campaign of the Decade.  He’s contributed memorable music to some of the top selling video games of the past fifteen years such as The Sims, Skate 3, and The Simpsons. His music has played in such venerable institutions as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, the New York Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum, and The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
