The Salt Cellars are a Canadian singer-songwriter duo from Maynooth, Ontario. Founded in 2016 by Virginia deCarle (vocals, songwriting) and Rob Bersan (vocals, guitar, songwriting), their music blends Americana, Blues, Folk, Jazz and Pop into heartfelt, story-driven songs that tackle social justice, personal narratives, and emotional truths. Whether on stage or in the studio, they invite listeners into a world of connection, resonance, and reflection. They perform regularly at Ontario venues as a duo and have also expanded to include multi-instrumental accompaniment when the venue suits. They were also Showcase Performers at the Folk Music Ontario conference in 2023.

Rob Bersan’s guitar playing is a standout element of The Salt Cellars’ sound—expressive, rootsy, and emotionally rich, blending folk, blues, jazz, and Americana into one cohesive style.

Virginia deCarle sings with passion, warmth, and intention. Her vocal tone is intimate and polished, her phrasing natural and emotive. Whether leading a song herself or harmonizing with Rob, her voice is the emotional anchor of The Salt Cellars — grounding their fusion of Americana, folk, blues, and jazz in heartfelt storytelling and genuine connection. Blending captivating music with vivid storytelling and lighthearted banter, they consistently draw in audiences and deliver unforgettable live experiences.
