OLD SALT UNION
The five young men who make up Old Salt Union grew up in Belleville, Illinois. You’ve heard of Bluegrass, and you may have no affection for it. But before you dismiss these guys, stop and listen. It’s not just Bluegrass. This is Newgrass. This is Popgrass. This is what happens when you fuse together guys who have pure and raw talent, each with a voice which stands on its own. They were flown to L.A and received 2 IMC Awards, released two albums, played at the Daytona 500, and have been extensively touring the country. In 2013 they were named RFT’s Best Bluegrass Band in St. Louis, and are nominated for the 2014 Best Country Band. Their immediate influences are contemporary, and their sensibility is lyrical, romantic, and loose. They’ll win you over with their harmonies and homesick fiddle, and get you dancing with their rhythms. This band has got a bright future and many picking parties yet to crash.
