SALT COMPANY LEADERSHIP
 |
Part of the Salt Company leadership
team began as a band called ManOWar. Following the release of
their "Anthology"
record, they decided to change their name to The Bowlcuts, but
didn't realize that bowlcuts weren't in at the time, and therefore
the band broke up. (L-R: Danny Maland, Christopher Dean, Jake Umbriaco,
Clint Roberts) |
 |
Following the Bowlcuts split, each went on to
record several solo releases. Jake Umbriaco's debut, simply titled
"Jake" went on to sell only a few records, but through it, Jake
realized that his true color was red, therefore coming to the
University of Utah to study and eventually meet his wife, Erin.
Jake is the leader of the Salt Company. |

Clint Roberts went on to release his debut, "Satan
Has Been Paralyzed" which scored the attention of the Southern
Baptist Convention, who believed he'd be the right man to go
to Utah to start a church they wanted to call "Paralyzed Satan
Evangelical." However, because of record label contracts, that
name was trademarked, so the church became known simply as Summit,
and meets at the IV House on Sunday at 10am. |
 |
Danny Maland, resident guitarist and sound guy,
did a metal CD under the moniker "Devistatin' Dan" that established
him not only as the coolest looking of the ex-Bowlcuts, but also
the most fashionable. "Givin' You Da Sound" was his solo record
and following it's release, Danny became the sound engineer for
Salt Company and Summit. He's the guy in the back who gives us
da sound. |
 |
Christopher Dean (aka Gino) had his debut reach
#1 in Italy, and, while maintaining the pretty boy image, set
his hopes on bigger and better things. In 2001 he became worship
leader for the Salt Company and stepped won in 2004. He is now
one of the percussionists and the webmaster for Salt Company.
His wife, Becky, still hates this picture, and threatens to burn
the record if she ever has to listen to it again. |
 |
Country Church is the worship team for the Salt
Company. They came together under worship leader Tiffany Antioquia
(seated) and is made up of (l-r) Aaron Davison (percussion),
Jon Umbriaco (vocals) and Eric Reeves (bass). Occasionally Eric's
wife, Amanda, will sing, and Gino (above) will play percussion. |
