SALT THIEF + NAOMI KAVKA

Salt Thief

Salt Thief is a punky, rootsy masterstroke of merriment, powered by viola-toting brothers John and Tony Kastellic, and featuring Ross Christopher Fairbairn on upright bass. The have followed their superb 2015 release “No Mothers” with the recently-issued “Thunder Out”. There may be a more fun evening than a Salt Thief concert, but we can’t think of what it might be.

Brothers John and Tony Kastelic left their home in the dusty prairies of southern Alberta and set up operation in the salt air of Vancouver, creating the world’s one-and-only stereo-viola folk rock band. Their music blends progressive fiddle, old-time country, sea shanties, and a sturdy dose of rock nā€™ roll.

Individually, John and Tony are one-man symphonies. They each hold down a rare groove with full baritone voices, shredding violas, and thunderous foot percussion. As a duo they are a force of nature. With a full band, they lay claim to a sound that is raw, groovy, and impossibly unique.
