Bringing medicine jam music to the world.

SoulTree & the Salamanders is a vibrant musical collective now based in Austin, Texas, originally formed and grown in the mountains of Durango, Colorado. Led by vocalist and songwriter SoulTree and multi-instrumentalist Cy (“Cylamander”), the project blends soulful songwriting, roots-infused grooves, world rhythms, and improvisational spirit — creating what they call medicine jam music.

The group has toured throughout the Southwest and the Pacific Northwest, sharing their music at festivals, gatherings, community celebrations, ceremonies, and healing spaces, as well as hosting and co-creating their own immersive music-centered events and festival. Their focus is connection, joy, and music as a living, communal experience.

While the full band brings a rich, dynamic, and dance-forward sound, the duo SoulTree & Cylamander offers a more intimate and versatile form of the project — weaving flute, djembe, guitar, bass, and lush harmonies across inspired originals and creative, soulful covers. This stripped-down offering is perfect for weekly residencies, cafes, listening rooms, private gatherings, house concerts, festivals, and ceremonial spaces, bringing warmth, groove, and intention to any environment.
