It's about the music, the traditional culture, the social nitty gritty, the story-telling style and the drive to Live True. All this, to repurpose the music, from merely entertaining the audience to engaging with the audience. That's Summersalt.                                                            

This Shillong-based band, has already embarked on a journey that propels them to experiment new heights. From the taste of blues and the pinch of rock to the hidden elements of jazz and the energy of indigenous music sitting on the laps of the Khasi hills, Summersalt is known to have crisscrossed genres. The band has been part of unplug live videos, national tours, school tours, TV and radio live shows and is currently collaborating with Bollywood film makers in the production of Rock On!!2 set to release in November 2016.                                                                                 The use of instruments is a mix of standards and some less known House Tools of the indigenous group, they belong to and represent – ‘the Khasi Community’ of the state of Meghalaya in India’s northeast. Summersalt is willing to travel to a new place and explore the possibilities of using the house tools of that culture for musical experimentation.                           The band is honored to have shared its place with the custodians of the hill culture, as the message in their songs they write is not theirs alone but reflect the life, the history, the struggles, the joys, the fears, the hope and the future of the people. They sing in both Khasi and English.
