The Salem Roadhouse Cafe proudly presents Piktor’s Metamorphosis, performing on Saturday, March 9, 2019.
Piktor’s Metamorphosis takes you on a journey back to the incendiary sounds of the Jazz/Rock fusion era, injecting their improvisational craft. The Jazz/Rock/Fusion heyday of experimental creativity has inspired it’s fans and other great musicians alike to push music further to its limits. Piktor’s will be performing classic compositions spanning Pat Metheny, Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jan Hammer, Barry Miles, and David Sancious & Tone.
This is a rare event to see this music performed live and at a feverish level. The line up will be stellar, featuring: Neil ‘NAIL’ Alexander (Piano/Synths), Monroe Quinn (Guitars), Danny Pagan (Drums), and Brian Mooney (Basses).

About Salem Roadhouse Café
Dedication best defines the Salem Roadhouse Café: dedication to excellent music and dedication to the community. In its tenth year, The 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 solid performance venue beloved by the musicians who play there because of its special intimacy with the audience.
Church music, it’s not.
The Roadhouse Café has always offered its stage to local and independent mainstream 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.
Community orientation
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, Groundwork Elizabeth, Union Twp.
