About Me

Salty Rootz is the perfect blend of powerful and inspirational lyrics, fierce beats, balmy grooves, well developed harmonies, and positive vibes. Their music borders on reggae, rock, and soul fusion. The band is not afraid, however, to incorporate many other genres of music for an eclectic experience rarely seen in music today. Influences include Bob Marley, Sublime, Ozomatli, No Doubt, Incubus,and Sade. Spencer, a self taught musician/songwriter, holds down guitar and lead vocals. His unique vocal stylings provide the base for the sound of Salty Rootz. Rachel, on secondary vocal, provides the essential harmony and occasionally lead vocals and percussion. Floyd, on bass, provides the necessary groove that pushes the irie vibe. Guigui, on drums, is a well travelled musician bringing a unique style that can only be attributed to his heritage and his dedication to his art. Shem, late bloomer in music, provides accent to the groove. Salty Rootz remains unaffiliated with labels but have put into motion the recording of their first EP due to be released this fall. These up and comers have an ever increasing fan base and the band can be seen regularly in and out of Salt Lake City. You can check their website for more information of upcoming shows and music. www.saltyrootz.com MyGen Profile Generator

Save the Drama for your Mama

"If I wanted drama I'd watch Days of our Lives!" I've had a friend for years that I have been a rock for. The strong shoulder to cry on. The only problem is my shoulder has been...
