Approved Bio:

Born of the snow season in Victoria, jamming and snowboarding together, Sun Salute are an international collective of musicians that draw inspiration from nature, travel and community. Their philosophy is to use the power of music for healing and change.
Politically driven and unafraid of voicing their truth, Sun Salute are not without their bite, but even at their most lyrically pugilistic they are positive and uplifting. Sun Salute pay honour to the creed of saying what you mean and meaning what you say. Be real. Speak the truth.
Returning to their roots in the Victorian snowfields, the band tracked their debut album “Time Has Come” at Ska and reggae icon Nicky Bomba’s mountain cottage with legendary engineer Robin Mai (John Butler Trio, Melbourne Ska Orchestra). Refining and finishing the tracks with roots and dub-reggae maestro Paulie B (The Beautiful Girls, Bobby Alu), Sun Salute’s ARIA Award-winning production team has done an exceptional job in capturing the groove of the band’s notorious live show.
Taking this movement worldwide, Sun Salute are a bright hope in dark times, which the world needs now more than ever. A product of the band’s own rich cultural diversity, Sun Salute exist as a shining example of how humanity’s differences only make us stronger together.
