The Salt Cellars are an independent duo hailing from the south side of Algonquin Park. They are a product of their many influences and blend the sounds of Folk, Americana, Blues, Jazz and Pop to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Virginia deCarle and Rob Bersan are the singer/songwriter foundation, and in 2016 they formed the duo, ‘The Salt Cellars’. After decades of writing and performing individually and with other musicians, they brought their lyrics and music to each other and began writing collaboratively. 
They have played in many venues in different parts of Ontario and were honoured to be Showcase Artists at the 2023 Folk Music Ontario Conference in London,ON. People love their tight harmonies, writing styles, skilled musicianship and energy. 

A bit of Salt Cellars recent history:
In 2017, The Salt Cellars introduced their music to Ron Kapitain (harmonica), and invited him to join them. They recorded an album titled “Truth” at Anax Junius Music Studios in Maynooth, ON (owned by Richard Joudrey and Anne Wilde) with recording technician/Bassist Richard Joudrey (Blue Peter fame) in 2018. Following the recording of their first album, Richard Joudrey (bass), Brendon Burgess (drums) and Anne Wilde (backing vocals) became part of The Salt Cellars band family. As a six piece they released a second album at Anax Junius Music Studios titled “Crooked Tree”, in September 2019, and their 3rd album titled, “Inside These Walls”, was released August 2022. “Inside These Walls” features guest Canadian musicians Jane Bunnett, a multi JUNO award winning member of Maqueque, and Hugh Marsh, a jazz violinist who has played with, among others, Bruce Cockburn, Loreena Mckennitt, Kevin Hearn and The Rheostatics.

The Salt Cellars have made several independently funded Music videos produced by Videographer Peter Chatterton (“You Don’t Know Me”, “Our Favourite Lake”, “Wanna Be With You” and “Silence”) and Harold Eastman (“Inside These Walls”).
