The SALEM ROADHOUSE CAFÉ proudly presents AMANI, featuring the vocals of Stephen Fuller performing on Saturday, November 11, 2017.
“Amani” is the word for peace in Swahili. The band, “Amani,” was formed to share the concept of peace through music, for people of all ages, races, and religious affiliations. “Amani” brings its message of peace to the Salem Roadhouse Cafe on Saturday, November 11, performing music from a variety of genres including The Great American Songbook, gospel, rhythm and blues, jazz, Bossa nova, and Broadway. Led by Marty Eigen on saxophone and flute, the members of the group are veteran musicians Fred Fischer on keyboards; vocalist Stephen Fuller; and guitarist Flip Peters.
A duo exhibit, based upon artistic explorations in dance called “Dance and Other Strangers” by local artists Kathleen Hron and Mansa Mussa will be on display at the Roadhouse Gallery of Fine Arts.
All ages are welcome. It’s a wholesome show, so bring the entire family!
Doors open 7:30 PM. The show starts at 8:00 P.M.
Admission is $20.00/$10.00 for students with ID.
Plan now for an evening of great music in Northern New Jersey’s Most Intimate Coffeehouse™.
About Salem Roadhouse Café
Dedication best defines the Salem Roadhouse Café: dedication to excellent music and dedication to the community. As its tenth year begins, Salem Roadhouse Café reaffirms its commitment to both.
Started in 2008 by members of Townley Presbyterian Church with a grant from the Presbytery of Elizabeth, the Roadhouse Café continues to operate as a non-profit that raises funds for several carefully chosen local charities. That may be its social mission… but the Roadhouse Café is and has been a performance venue beloved by the musicians who play there because of its special intimacy with the audience.
The Roadhouse Café has always offered its stage to local and independent main stream musicians. It’s a clean, safe place for people who enjoy listening to live music, in a world of clubs and bars. Jazz, rock, folk and other groups have performed. During the past ten years well over 100 different entertainers have appeared. Local fine artists also display their works.
The Salem Roadhouse Café has raised funds for many carefully chosen charities. They include: The Presbytery of Elizabeth E-port Center, Center For Hope Hospice, Community Food Bank, Monarch Housing, Angel Paws Animal Rescue, National MS Society, Haiti Disaster Relief, Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief, The Union County YWCA Domestic Violence Program, Making It Possible To End Homelessness, Camp Johnsonburg, The Music Institute, and others. Thousands of dollars have been raised for these deserving charities.
The musicians who play the Roadhouse often ask to return as soon as possible. The Roadhouse has given them a place with good acoustics, a live, attentive audience, and a sound system that is first class.
Now in its tenth year of operation, the Salem Roadhouse Café plans to feature many of the performers who have graced the stage in the past, as well as bring talent that is new to the Café stage. The current season has been benefitting the Union County YWCA Domestic Violence Program.
Admission includes the show, snacks, beverages and a special anniversary dessert, plus the art gallery.
