Salvation Alley String Band

Hailing from Northampton, Massachusetts the Salvation Alley play original Country music. Incorporating elements of Western Swing, Bakersfield, and Outlaw country spanning from the 1940’s – 1970’s. They have made many stages around New England their home, and are as comfortable at a dive bar as they are playing a festival (FreshGrass/Green River Fest) or opening for country legends (George Jones). Ryan Quinn (guitar/vocals) has a unique songwriting approach, matching lush & tender melodies with post-apocalyptic and at times self deprecating lyrics. Matt Silberstein (Bass) & Matt Jugenheimer (Drums) always lay down a solid backbeat, and as of 2017 Annika Amstutz (fiddle) has joined the lineup. She adds precise fiddle lines that float atop the music, like a heavenly angel. Sal Al (if you’re into brevity) is currently working on their 4th album for Rub Wrongways Records entitled “Winning Hearts And Minds”.
