About ‘Live in Room 13’

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ Timeless songs were colored with contemporary lyrics and arrangements. The live energy is palpable in the tracks. Old Salt stands for a major international breakthrough…!
— Keys and Chords by Philip Verhaege
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Old Salt is definitely recommended for the Americana listener who is intrigued by music with a traditional setting. That’s what Old Salt does and does it incredibly well.

This is quite possibly one of the best versions that I’ve heard (About St. James Infirmary Blues)

They would blow the clouds away at any festival I can think of and it would be good to see an enterprising promoter get them booked over here.
— At The Barrier
On top of their existing albums of mainly original tunes, Old Salt have demonstrated that they are equally adept at breathing new life into the time honoured covers that they sprinkle through their live set. Check it out, and catch them live if you can.
— Lonesome Highway
It is clear that Old Salt has been digging deep into the history of narrative folk music. You can listen for yourself on this EP that is 100% worthwhile.

With this bold but unfortunately too short statement, it makes perfect sense that the gates for Old Salt are now wide open…

About ‘Commons’

Old Salt’s energy and virtuosity hit you like a ton of bricks. A band from Ghent with the imagination, virtuosity and textures of Goat Roper Rodeo Band, the songs and arrangements of Alison Krauss of Union Station, the vocals of Mumford, but even more importantly, they sound like nothing but Old Salt.
— Folk Radio UK
Every traditional becomes more exciting than you’ve ever heard it, the originals are all gems and the collaboration has succeeded on all fronts... - Adventurous, exciting, jazzy folk that make me particularly happy. An absolute must!
— Moors Magazine
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Heerlijk eerlijk, puur en onversneden
— Het Nieuwsblad
Cette musique vous fera trépider en profondeur

About our live shows

Deze onvervalste ‘stringband’ zijn een lust voor oog en oor en hun samenspel is gewoonweg magistraal te noemen.
— Rootsville.eu - Freddie
(About Buhl Festival 2022) Und da entpuppten sich Old Salt aus Belgien als Überraschungs-Shooting Stars des Festivals. Aus amerikanischem Folk, Bluegrass, Rhythm & Blues und europäischen Traditionen basteln sie sich ihren ganz eigenen Musik-Kosmos. Immer wieder überraschten sie mit unerwarteten Wendungen, und ihre Fähigkeit zum Spiel mit der Dynamik macht aus fast jedem Song ein hochintensives Drama.
— Michael Müller - Offenburger Tageblatt
Winner European World of Bluegrass Award 2017 - As always the audience voted for the band they loved best. Old Salt won the vote by a mile.

I wish they had warned me up front though. The first half of the gig they tested the medieval architectural endurance of the walls, and in the second half they took the roof clean off. The audience went wild, danced and sang along.
— Jeroen Roozendaal - Missy Sippy Gent

"As always the audience voted for the band they loved best. Old Salt won the vote by a mile. The band pull their influences from down in New Orleans to the Appalachian Mountains up into the folk revival of the North Eastern States and jumping the pond to the many sounds from Old Europe."
