Norman Salant is a NYC songwriter and singer whose songs reflect the most moving elements of life. Melodious, intricate, lyrical wordplay, large themes, poetic imagery, abstract impressions; above all honest and somehow modern. Norman’s songs are deceptively complex, seeming to reconstitute all the music he’s ever heard and played, inclusive even of his former saxophone career (he appears on The Residents and Romeo Void albums), from the Beatles to Coltrane, from Dylan to Philip Glass, from Byrne to Bowie, and turning it into something fresh and new. Pop, yes, folk, yes, avant-garde, perhaps; radically different than any particular genre might produce. As we emerge in this post-pandemic world, Norman’s music is particularly worth listening to. www.normansalant.com
