Robert Hill Band to perform at Northern New Jersey’s Most Intimate Coffeehouse
The Salem Roadhouse Cafe proudly presents the Robert Hill Band, performing on Saturday, June 8, 2019.
An astounding slide guitar player, Robert Hill’s songs have been used extensively on television, including his song, “Long Rain”, used for a Smirnoff Ice commercial which aired during the Super Bowl, and continued to run internationally for several years. His music has also been used on “Dexter”, ”All My Children”, “Queer Eye For The Straight Guy”, Canadian TV series, “Hell On Hooves” and numerous PSAs and radio spots. Robert has done extensive studio work as well, lending his slide guitar and arranging expertise to many commercials.
Robert Hill has played national festivals, including The Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival, which attracts a weekend crowd of 60,000 people. He also has performed throughout Spain. He performs regularly around the NYC area, where he currently resides. This will be Robert’s third performance at the Roadhouse, where he quickly endeared himself to the Roadhouse “Family” of great performers.
At the Salem Roadhouse Cafe you will be able to hear Robert and his band in a nightclub-like setting, playing originals and covers of popular tunes. Fans won’t want to miss this live event, upfront and personal.
This show will feature original artwork by both performer Robert Hill and Roadhouse director Bruce Tangowski, with their works on display for all to enjoy and experience at the Roadhouse Gallery of Fine Art.

About Salem Roadhouse Café
Dedication best defines the Salem Roadhouse Café: dedication to excellent music and dedication to the community. In its eleventh 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 eleven years well over 100 different entertainers have appeared. Local fine artists also display their works. The musicians who play the Roadhouse often ask to return as soon as possible. The Roadhouse has given them a place with a beautiful stage, good acoustics, a live, attentive audience, and a sound system that is first class.
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. Police “Santa In Blue” toy campaign and others. Thousands of dollars have been raised for these deserving charities.
Now nearly into its twelfth year of operation, the Salem Roadhouse Café features many of the performers who have graced the stage in the past, as well as talent that is new to the Café stage. The current season will benefit Family Promise.
