Salt & Samovar May 17, 2009

Raised in neighboring New England townships, D.S. and Dane met at a Brooklyn cafe in early 2005, where they would discuss secret Rick Danko harmonies and antebellum American revivals. It was these musings that laid the foundation for their brainchild, Salt & Samovar, a band that coalesced during a tour of France in September, 2006 supporting D.S.'s solo album of the same name. Salt & Samovar is currently made up of guitarist and singer D.S., bassist Dane, drummer Dan, and organist Kelli. Prepare for a unique blend of blistering psychedelic rock and fire-and-brimstone-infused Americana. Their music has been called "a study in gospel-revival psych-garage honky-tonk swing."
