Revels Fringe at Passim: Seven Times Salt

Praised for creative programming and an “impeccably balanced sound” (American Recorder Society), Seven Times Salt has performed at venues throughout New England including Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Plimoth Patuxet, Boston Public Library, New England Folk Festival, WGBH radio, and many others. They delight in blurring the lines between “art music” and folk tunes, and feel at ease performing in the concert hall, the dance hall, or the beer hall!

Rave Reviews

Thank you for still finding a way to share Revels with us; I am newer to the show, but in the last few years it has truly become a part of my holiday traditions, and I would have missed it sorely. Love and light to all of you and yours.

Dorothy Smith

Modern life tends to separate us from one another. Yet nowhere is the strength of diversity expressed more completely than when our voices come together in song. I am inspired by Revels’ reminder of our commonality and delighted to celebrate again this year the gifts of nature and community at RiverSing.
