Pure. Rock. If Dave Grohl and Chris Martin had a baby and raised it in the church not only would it be a miracle, but it might sound something like Salient.
Sa-lient / adj: 1. Poised to leap forward. 2. To stand out conspicuously. 3. The point in a battle line where progress is made into enemy territory.
Salient has risen to the forefront of independent music with its dynamic live show, melodic rock sound, and lyrics that depict the universal search for hope and redemption in a broken world.
Salient originally formed in the fall of 2002 and gained momentum quickly. A full-length album was independently produced and released in June of 2004,
and an EP showcasing the growth of the band’s sound followed in January 2006. The EP resulted in the first acclaimed Salient song “Immortalize Me” thanks
to the impact of online promotion and distribution through sites like Garageband.com and iTunes.
Vocalist Mark Duckworth and guitarist Bobby Reinsch have traveled the world playing music and bring a confidence to the stage that can only result
from the tests of time and experience. The addition of accomplished bassist Ivo Oliveira and drummer Jeromy Rowe truly brought their songs to life. Intent on learning from their lessons in the music business, these four have formed a bond that seeks to weather the cyclical nature of industry approval and come out stronger together on the other side.
From the beginning the response has been overwhelming. Fans from across the world have taken notice of Salient and a broad cross-section of society has
found a band that they can truly relate to. “I believe that people are tired of having musical superficiality shoved at them by executives in suits,”
remarks Duckworth. “Our goal is to share our lives through our music. It’s time to get real.”
