Description:

The Salt Martians are a Santa Barbara-based, all-acoustic bluegrass band. Ken Gaston and Tim Mullins first performed together in the mid-Seventies at the legendary Bluebird Cafe. The newest member, formerly of the Bluegrass Cardinals and the Cache Valley Drifters Tom Lee joins them on string bass, giving the band almost three thousand years of combined playing experience. They are often joined by a rotating cast of fine mandolin and fiddle players, including Mike Mullins, Tom Marton and Mark Olson. Their enthusiasm for playing together and enjoyment of both traditional and contemporary bluegrass music are virulently contagious.
