Coalescing into swampy funk jams,

South Saturn Delta is an inspired group of artists who habitually "drink from the well" that is the reservoir of American roots music…

Allowing it to infuse and inspire artistically when writing original compositions and re-interpreting song. Their music has been called "Swamp-a-delic! Funky, edgy, rhythm and blues with a twist of jazz." The sound of this group electrifies and generates an emotional intensity that is sometimes cathartic, sometimes triumphant, and always rewarding. South Saturn Delta has enjoyed local and international airplay. In 2007 they were featured and appeared for a live interviews on the historic "King Biscuit Time" radio show, the longest running blues radio show in the world, and the "Delta Sounds" radio show broadcast from the Delta Cultural Center in Helena, Arkansas. Also the "Jazz with Norm Satchell" radio show on WNJC Philadelphia.

Their compelling live show has made them popular at Jazz & Blues festivals and they are proud members of The Bucks County Blues Society & The Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Foundation.
