With You Old

We are pleased to release the first track off the new Record "The Story of You". This work marks the beginning of a new chapter for Satsang. A bigger sound, with bigger hearts, and a bigger band. We were blessed enough to make this record in the seclusion of the Beartooth Mountains, which is what I call home. It has been a beautiful journey, and we are so exited to share it with you. We were blessed enough to have my 9 year old step-daughter Chloe sing on the end of the song. She was present the evening it was written and inspired multiple facets of the song, so we thought it fitting that she sing it with us. 
Through the stages, changes, and growing pains. Inevitably and without skipping a beat.... Life Goes On
More music and BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS TO COME!!

Life Goes On

The Story of You was a long time coming... I started writing it while we were in the studio recording "In Between the Blinks" So a handful of the songs have been with us, and played, for over a year. I feel like the growth that has occurred in the last year has been so vast, and the record really speaks to that for me. The growth of the band in members, and I think this summer/fall was a really transformative time for all of us. I was working through a lot of stuff, sealed up a couple last bits of my past, getting used to touring and the ups and downs involved there. I think David and Karl were both figuring it out as we went as well. I think the understanding and acceptance that followed every bout of struggle is what we are here for. It is all a part of the story... So accept, forgive, and love YOUR STORY. It’s the only one you got ;-)

Karl Vincent Roth is what some might call, a musical renaissance man. Karl has spent the last 20+ years, working on all aspects of his musical career - from honing his skills as a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, to cutting his teeth in the recording studio as a producer and audio engineer. 

Growing up outside of Chicago, and eventually living in the city, Karl started playing saxophone at the early age of 7, only to pick up strings shortly thereafter. It was when Karl started confidently playing guitar at the age of 14, that he began writing his own songs. Eventually Karl adopted the hobby of recording his own music, as a way of teaching himself the finer points of production and audio engineering. It was when Karl hit his early 20’s, that he began his short career as a DJ in Chicago. After 8 successful years, Karl then moved to Montana to join the band “Satsang” with his best friend Andrew McManus. Karl and Drew started touring heavily, sharing the stage with acts like Michael Franti & Spearhead, Nahko & Medicine for the People, and Trevor Hall, all with Karl singing harmonies and acting as the bands Bassist. But Karl also worked behind the scenes to engineer, mix and co-produce the albums “Story of You”, “Pyramid(s)”, “In Between Another Blink” and most recently - “Kulture”. With “Pyramid(s)” reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Reggae Charts for a brief stint, and the building success of “Kulture” - Karl finally found some time to start writing his own music again.

Heavily influenced by folk, blues, soul, and elements of modern production, Karl is finding his own unique take on the melding of genres. With folk acting as the foundation, Karl Vincent Roth is building on his love of vocal harmony and arrangement, and his knowledge of modern pop music to create a soundscape that is unique to his writing. 

A large amount of the content behind Karl Vincent Roth’s music is inspired from his struggles with depression and anxiety. 

“I write as a method of catharsis. It helps me process and overcome my own struggles, and It’s my hope that someone hears one of my songs and feels a little less alone.” 

With Karl’s lyrics coming from a deep place of honesty and vulnerability, and the music itself being a broad soundscape of intricate melodies met with full, verbose harmony. Karl Vincent Roth’s music stands to be a unique take on a longstanding tradition.

Karl is currently awaiting the release of his upcoming EP - “Wits End”, slated to be released on Nov. 9th, Karl has accomplished the whole project on his own, from the writing and the performing, to the recording and production, Karl has stood to complete this record with a hand on the pulse of every stage of creation.

It’s only the beginning for Karl Vincent Roth, and he couldn’t be more excited.

“I’ve been waiting to do this for some time. And with everything I’ve learned over the course of my life, from creating, working & touring with Satsang, to working and collaborating with other artists across the US, It’s time. I’ve worked hard to get where I am now, and to finally come back to writing my own music again, I finally feel ready.”
