Backstory:
Minty Plot was born in the vibrant, eclectic heart of Los Angeles, California. The band’s origin was as spontaneous as their sound. It was the product of chance, where four individuals, each with their distinct musical interests, met at an open mic night at a small independent café. They were Ellie Kinsley, a folk singer-songwriter; Joey Montenegro, a jazz drummer; Adam LeBlanc, a blues guitarist; and Nathan Martens, a punk bassist. Their diverse backgrounds converged, sparking an unexpected fusion that gave birth to Minty Plot.
Their journey began in 2017, starting with small gigs in coffee shops and local bars. Gradually, their audience grew, and their name began to echo through the LA music scene. Their unique sound – a blend of folk, jazz, blues, and punk – resonated with listeners, creating a loyal fanbase that continues to grow. The band’s commitment is to continue pushing boundaries, creating music that embarks listeners on a unique, sonic journey.

Title:
“Salty Sweet Symphony”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
G Em
Salty waves, sweet summer nights,
C D
we danced in the moonlight, in our own delight.
G Em
Strumming the strings, lost in your eyes,
C D
the city was our playground, under the starry skies.
(Chorus)
G Em
Oh, the salty sweet symphony of our lives,
C D
keeps playing on, through all the highs and dives.
G Em
Your laughter, my dreams, our shared memories,
C D
are the tunes of our existence, the sweetest melodies.
(Verse 2)
G Em
As the sun dips, the music starts to play,
C D
we are the band in the spotlight, owning the day.
G Em
In the rhythm of the heartbeats, in the pulse of the night,
C D
we find our harmony, in the haze of the neon light.
(Chorus)
G Em
Oh, the salty sweet symphony of our lives,
C D
keeps playing on, through the twists and the dives.
G Em
Your laughter, my dreams, our shared stories,
C D
are the rhythm of our journey, the sweetest allegories.
(Outro)
G Em
In the salty sweet symphony, we found our plot,
C D
with the music, the memories, every moment we’ve got.
G Em
Here’s to the melody, our minty plot,
C D
To the love, to the life, to the time that we’ve bought.
