“My feedback would positive…there was a crowd of kids up front prior to their set and they all stayed and were engaged with the band the whole time, the band sounded great so I was very pleased to have them as part of our lineup. Great job by Salient!”
~ Brandon Hough, Concert Promoter Ignite Festival (Meadville, PA) 2009
“Salient was amazing to have out at the camp for the retreat. They were very professional and fun to be around. They are amazing artists and performers who have a deep passion for whom they perform for: God. They have an amazing ministry going. The thing that stood out the most to me was how down-to-earth all of them are. I will highly recommend them to anyone seeking a lively worship band.”
~ Jason Leinbaugh, Director Gasconade Camp (Waynesville, MO) 2009
“Salient was our featured artists for the kickoff of RAISE THE PRAISE 2009. Having not seen these guys previously I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Recordings and videos don’t do these guys justice; amazingly solid, true showmen, and very passionate about Christ and reaching out to the youth of this generation. THESE GUYS ARE THE NEXT BIG THING! GET READY!
~ John Cassandro, Promoter Raise the Praise Fest 2009 (Portland, TN) Friday headliner

“We have been so blessed to have Salient ROCK out a recent outreach event. The NEWS is still Salient!!! Thanks so much for not only putting on a great show but over and over again I have heard both parents and students say how much they appreciate your heart to minister to the students as well. You guys were truly the perfect fit for our first big outreach event here."
~ Ryan G. Smith, Student Ministries Pastor Grace Point Church 02008 & 09 (Lewis Center, OH)
Salient really added quality to our festival. Festival goers who had never heard them before were drawn in and commented that they were impressed with their musical talent. The stage manager was impressed with their friendly humble demeanor and said it was evident that Christ is at the center of their ministry.
~ Cindy Wacker, Co-Director Bash on the Farm 2008 (Garner, IA)
“I have the tremendous opportunity to work with over 3,800 bands that have graced the three stages of our facility. Although there have been many acts that have possessed remarkable talent, it is easy to become so accustomed to bands that few stand out any more. And yet there are a small handful that have impacted and impressed me significantly enough that they do not fade into the masses. Salient is one such band. “
~ Sara Breigh Winne, Music Venue Manager Rocketown (Nashville, TN)
“I was not disappointed when Salient performed (at our venue). The connection was evident. Attendance doubled for Salient's return performance 4 months later!”
~ Scott McDaniel, Creative Director - Forefront Records / EMI CMG, 1999-2004
"What a fun band to work with…great players, great guys, and great songs."
