The band aim to entertain wherever they play and they certainly do that in a big way. With four voices dishing up some very tight harmony and with guitar riffs made to look easy, they leave no doubt as to their musical and instrumental prowess. The Salty Hearts love to mix it up, playing anything from slightly off centre pop, electric folk, to some alt-country and beyond. Whatever they lend their hand to makes for good listening. Not a poor one in the pot. 

 

Greg Sayer plays acoustic guitar, and mainly pens the original material for the Salty Hearts. His hearty songs dovetail beautifully with the covers the band has chosen, from their vast collective musical adventures in the 60s, 70s, whipped up with some quirky 80s tunes and blended with the odd brand new Kiwi song from 2020 here and there... The genre does move around a bit.

Dave Allen is the electric/acoustic guitar man. As part of Hogsnort Bulldogs, Harvest Moon and other bands, he brings an awesome talent to the fore, showcasing his sublime touch on the guitar.

Richard Guerin has been a member of bands such as Groove Assembly and Rhythm Plant. He’s a music teacher, and the general groove guru who adds the ‘cream’ to The Saltys sound on bass.

On percussion and hitting the high notes with remarkable ease is Anje Glindemann. Anje, adept at playing drums softly (or at least appropriately) can often be seen performing alongside, Cindy Muggeridge and Neil Billington, Andrew London, The Raven Mavens Quartette... and more.

Together, these well-rehearsed players are a feast for eyes and ears.
