BTS Update:
Jessie Northridge...singing with BTS!
BTS is pleased to announce that Jessie Northridge is singing and playing recorder with the band on occasion, beginning with the Ohio Ren Faire performances in 2011.The addition of Jessie's wonderful vocal talents provides new opportunity for harmonizing and for new song material not previously performed by BTS.
One new song addition is "The Magpie". We hope that you have an opportunity to listen to this song as performed by BTS. It certainly has proven to be one of the most powerful musical numbers that BTS has performed to date. This one takes BTS to a new level.
BTS shows at the Ohio Renaissance Festival on October 16th, 2011 were recorded and are available for listening or download using the Music Player on this page. The live audio tracks recorded at the outdoor Lorelei BierGarten include crowd banter and sounds of pirates being shot at their ship down the lane and of course..the Ohio wind. It was a windy, autumn day in the shire. The recorded 11:30am and the 1:30 pm shows are as close as you can get to being there with us. Have a listen, on us. Enjoy!
Last year, Beneath The Salt made its debut as a musical entity and also released the BTS springboard CD, appropriately titled "The Heart Of A Knight". The "theme" CD is dedicated to the memory and legacy of Sir Harry Andrews, the builder of Loveland Castle and founder of the KOGT.
The audio tracks from the CD "The Heart Of A Knight" are also provided in the Music Player on this page.
The CD can be purchased at Loveland Castle, Loveland Ohio. All proceeds from CDs purchased at the Castle are donated for the benefit of the Castle and Museum which is managed and maintained by the KOGT.
A new CD will be in development soon. Look for the release in 2012. Until then, we hope that you will enjoy (and share) the recordings available on this page and at ReverbNation.
BTS looks forward to performing at Loveland Castle, Loveland, OH in 2012 for the KOGT Knights Day events held on the 3rd Saturday of each month, April thru October. Contact Loveland Castle for additional info.
And...
BTS performs regularly at the Ohio Renaissance Festival in Harveysburg, OH, weekends September and October. CDs are available for purchase.

About BTS:
Beneath The Salt was officially formed as a band in 2010, although the members have been performing music together, off and on, for many years prior.
Each of the members is a seasoned performer and each has engaged in solo endeavors as well as having performed in and with other musical groups. Nonetheless, it seems that perhaps the formation of BTS was inevitable. In a manner of speaking, BTS is a "Guild of Kindred Spirits".
The group generally performs at Festivals and Historical Re-enactment Events, Coffeehouses and other music venues.
The music suggests traditional Celtic influences and themes, though the arrangements are often original to the group. BTS generally performs traditional and contemporary folk music, as well as original ballads and instrumentals.
Contact BTS for additional info or booking.
