Our Story
Emerging from the heart of Savannah’s pinewood forests, the Salt Flat Pickers breathe life into the timeless essence of bluegrass. With Rocco’s fervent mandolin plucks, Jake’s intricate banjo tales, Trevor’s melodic guitar backbone, and Brooks’s resonant bass rhythms, they craft a symphony that melds tradition with modern vibrancy. Each note captures a slice of Southern soul, a whisper of Appalachian wind, a hint of Low Country mystery.
The Salt Flat Pickers don’t just play; they narrate stories of doomed romance, mountain mists, and river bends. It’s in their fiery live performances, infused with traces of modern country pioneers and psychedelic legends, that they truly come alive, enveloping listeners in a sonic embrace. Yet, their journey’s heart lies in harmonies shared among Jake, Brooks, Rocco, and Trevor – voices that unite in a tapestry of soulful echoes.
Drenched in both legacy and innovation, their music is a testament to passion’s power. Every performance is a ritual, a communion with the audience, an exploration of bluegrass’s very soul. And as they traverse the landscape of melodies, from toe-tapping beats to heart-rending ballads, the Salt Flat Pickers beckon you to join their voyage, to immerse in the wild rhythms of life, love, and endless musical byways.
