The name Prospect Mali (pronounced molly) may seem strange for an acoustic rock trio from the suburbs of Salt Lake City, but it has a lot of significance to Tanner (guitars), Chris (drums), and Rob (bass). While living in Russia on LDS missions, the trio all lived on a street named Prospect Mali in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Upon returning, they formed the band and have been playing ever since. For years now, Prospect Mali has been active in the local music scene, self-producing their debut album and playing shows, large and small, throughout the state. They’ve appeared on local TV and news programs around the state.

Prospect Mali’s sound is something both unique and familiar. Strong, original songs in classic structure are based around the genres of Acoustic and 90’s Pop/Rock, and are brought to life by a moving rhythm section and Tanner’s distinct voice.

Their musical blend could be described as a cross between The Goo Goo Dolls and Guster, with the result paying homage to the likes of Toad The Wet Sprocket. But in the end, Prospect Mali’s music comes down to solid songwriting and passionate performances – pure and simple.
