Saltydog is a funk jam Improvisational exploration that takes the audience & band on a journey through their playfully crafted folk driven tunes inspired by the likes of everyone from The Talking Heads, The Band, those classic country and jam band staples along with everyone in between. The band spawned on the banks of Duluth’s ice-covered stones by brothers Jacob and Owen Mahon. This midwestern psychedelic cowboy review features Calvin (Calzone) Lund, Lefty Johnson, Gavin St. Clair, and Sam Deters. The band’s genuine kindness, passion, enthusiasm and joy for their craft is apparent, enchanting & makes for an addictive live performance. Their 2nd album Pepper dropped spring 2024 and the band is set to release their 3rd album in Fall 2025. The band has been known as differently original, very funky, and unpredictable in a delightful, soulful manner. There is something for everyone at a Saltydog show. You are beautiful, you are welcome, you will groove, we will vibe. We are Saltydog.

Tapers notes: Recording 5 of 13 from Muskie Days 2026. I've seen Saltydog quite a few times now, but this might be the best show so far. They were the last band of the night, and I couldn't think of a better way to cap off the day. There are a lot of empty titles in this setlist, I know some of these are new, and quite honestly, I think a lot of these were made up as they went. But, that just added to the loose feeling of the set, and led to some epic jams and incredible musicianship. No two Saltydog shows are the same, and this one right here is the best example of that.
"Got a mind to ramble, got a mind to roam
I'm travelin' light and I'm slow coming home"
