Salamander Crossing spent much of the 90's as New England's premiere roots band. With their first-rate song craft and stellar playing and interpretation they were one of the most unique ensembles in modern acoustic music. Blending bluegrass instrumentation, stunning 3 part harmonies and an eclectic repertoire that included everything from Bruce Springsteen to Bill Monroe, Salamander Crossing developed a one of a kind sound and a large and enthusiastic fan base. They disbanded in late 1999 after releasing three critically acclaimed albums. Lead singer and fiddler Rani Arbo went on to form Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem.
