   About Saltwater Merchants
Writing songs is a trip! I am thrownback each time a new song arrives, like a surprise package in the mail. Songwriting is a challenge that keeps me awake at night, longing for the expressions to take on form and melody. I am honored to be a part of this whole thing. Me and the guys have been playing my words into song since college, and have kept it up even since geographical separations have slowed us down. God only knows what happens when we diverge even farther, though the song shall press on, haunting me in my sleep. Cradling us when all seems lost. All is not lost, just the things we didn't need. -travis

G'day Guys,
Just wanted to thank you for accepting us as friends, & hope that you enjoy our summer tunes!
We're trying to get airplay on Triple J Radio, so if you like our music we have decided to give a free download @
http://www.triplejunearthed.com/Artists/View.aspx?artistid=14312 or just click on the banner below. And we ask you in return if you can rate & leave a review of their tunes on the Triple J download page as these two things are what they will be looking at when deciding.
We'd really appreciate it!

Thanx so much,

Dave & The Boys.

Rate us on triple j Unearthed!
