What they are saying about Sal

"Friday night sees us wander into the Folk Circus stage where we sit on the grass with a few dozen others and are treated to what becomes our Pick Of The Festival, Melbourne-based five-piece, Sal Kimber & The Rollin' Wheel. We see these guys three times over the weekend, their hard-driving, song driven alt country rock 'n' roll proving to be the elixir for the damp, the tonic for the aches and pains and the cure for whatever else may have been ailing us. Kimber has a way with words which run deep, her guitar and banjo prowess is simple and understated but so effective while behind her slide guitar, accordion, piano, bass and drums rumble and bounce menacingly and freely- these guys blew my mind and I left, each time, wanting more and more" Samuel J.Fell, Rhythms Mag, April 2010."

"Sal Kimber is one of Australia's best emerging songwriters Watch this space or beter still, just listen..
Great songs, true emotion and not afraid to have a laugh Sal Kimber is a real find. 'Sounds Like Thunder' is one of the most refreshingly honest records to come along in years, Sal Kimber is a rare talent".
Gary Seven, Program Manager PBS 106.7

'Sal Kimber's songs get stuck in your internal jukebox. She's a performer who gets under your skin, leaving you with a sense of utter contentment long after the last chord has rung out.'
Jenny O'Keefe, 94.9 - Joy FM

“From Country Victoria Sal & The Rollin’ Wheel will be one of our musical highlights of 2009, we guarantee it! Though their incredible debut ‘Sounds Like Thunder’ slipped under our radar last year…. we’re making up for lost time in that it’s been on VERY high rotation round these parts for the last month or So! Sounding rural & rootsy, but with urban savvy, her songs are perfect stories within a beautifully arranged, and feat. Wonderfully sympathetic & innovative instrumentation. Sal writes all the material, plays banjo superbly (along with electric & acoustic guitar), has a great voice & is gorgeous to boot!! Who says “you can’t have it all?!”
The Basement Disks, Melbourne

"Opening the stage for The Verses was Sal Kimber, a Melbourne singer/songwriter who clearly had a few fanatics in the room. Kimber’s songs are distinctly Australian and she sings with such a flavor – with similarities here and there to the likes of The Waifs or Mia Dyson. Her gentle melodies and vocals amongst the twang of guitar and banjo demonstrated a perfect summer soundscape that you can’t help but like. Each song utilised acoustic guitar, banjo or electric guitar for characterisation and along with her unique and subtle voice, it was hard to fault her or her ensemble at all."

“Sal deserves to become this year’s National Treasure, for her songwriting/music is all encapsulating, whilst being witty, moving and relevant.” Tony Bates, 100.7 Highlands FM
