Loretta’s birthday party Montclaire brother july 24
Chances
are you’ve seen BROTHER on NBC’s ‘ER’, maybe heard their music on the classic
‘Baraka’ soundtrack or UPN’s ‘ Twilight Zone.’ The band has shared stages with
Joe Walsh, John Entwhistle, Linkin Park, and Alicia Keys and are the only
independent band to have played the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Fusing signature vocals and guitar
with the deep pulse of the didgeridoo, the soaring highs of the bagpipes, and
tribal percussion, BROTHER is wholly original. The band’s powerhouse live
performances are an energetic celebration, captivating and engaging the
audience from the first song to the last.

coffee shop! The Governor’s Cup shows are a great staple in the downtown core

Level b live soundtrack july 25
The brainchild to perform a live music soundtrack to a
feature length film has come to fruition on Friday night at the theater pub.
Local acts will echo the film, “My Name is Nobody” with their instruments-
weaving an alternative soundtrack for the movie as the original sound will be
muted. This can provide for a great new way for audiences to experience music
and movies! The heavy string passages of Orchards meld with the ‘country
eastern’ style of Jeremy Crofoot as they perform live onstage during the
movie’s projection!
Duffy’s Red Elvises july 31
Russian influences take a rockabilly spin this evening at
the South Salem venue for what the band dubs themselves as… “Siberian Surf
Rock”! The infamous relentlessly touring Red Elvises bring their ‘International
Rockenrol Party’ once again to Salem! With songs such as the fittingly and
comically charged cold war (and now once again relevant) song- Rocket Man and
the more tender crooning tune- “My love is killing me” you are sure to
experience something you’ve never heard done in a well- practiced and
convincing fashion. Access redelvises.com for more information on the band!
Level b overlook hotel… july 26
Two of Salem’s original Blitzen Trapper members Marty Marquis and Erik
Menteer shall team up with local prolific grim duo Overlook Hotel and Seattle’s
John Totten for a night of songwriter projects showcased at the local theater
pub! As a rarity Marty and Erik will stage their side project tunes for Salem!
Overlook Hotel will perform their latest and freshly recorded dark Salem
biopic, The Death of Daniel Delaney, and John Totten will open the show with
his unique folk songs.
Blitzen Trapper is a Subpop/ Vagrant Records artist having recently
release their 7th studio album aptly titled simply “VII”. It
features the single Thirsty Man. With the band broadly encompassing country,
experimental, psychedelia, and thick beats all their albums have had extensive
replay value- whether each song creeps into your mind as you awake in the
morning or contagiously flooding your senses at a gathering. One of their
earlier singles “Wild Mountain Nation” was also listed as one of Rolling
Stone’s top 100 songs of the year!
Bringing members of Blitzen
Trapper to perform in Salem is a benchmark for your city as these world
renowned international travelling major record label musicians have been
touring and creating music for over a decade. Having two of them performing
together on the same night with area troubadours is truly a treat for a local
audience! One could say this bill is a match made in heaven as the night
promises to burn like hell with a profoundly creative fire and accessible sound.
This skilled cadre of performers is all in one specially designed chamber of
creative juices, Level B!
