Equally importantly the band offer a fresh take on 'Shetland music' incorporating many traditional themes through their more contemporary, energetic and exciting approach delivered via guitar, fiddle, banjo and keyboards.

With six highly acclaimed studio albums to their name, not to mention a recently released live album that ably packages their livewire shows, this is one Shetland band you should keep an eye out for on the live music circuit.

One this is certain, Rock, Salt and Nails are a name to guarantee a sweat drenched Shetland party wherever they appear.
