Salem Roadhouse Cafe Presents the Megan Pennington Band
The Salem Roadhouse Cafe proudly presents Megan Pennington, performing on Saturday, February 8, 2020.
Megan Pennington was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. Signed to a recording contract at just 19 years old, she released her first single ‘Free’ and watched it soar to #1 on the VRadio Nashville Top 40 chart – the biggest independent chart in the world at the time.
Not to be enticed or deluded by instant success, Megan remained in college and received her degree. Majoring in Science, she specialized in Music Theory and was elected charter Vice President of the Society of Creative Musicians.
During her two terms as president, Megan and her newly founded club became 4-time winners of the prestigious Star Award – 3 in 2016 and another in 2017. Megan has released four singles to date that have charted worldwide and continues to tour the United States with international dates on the horizon.
Megan will be joined on stage by local performers Matt Powers, Ray Powers and “Mad” Mike Cullens.
Original artwork will be on display for all to enjoy and purchase.

About Salem Roadhouse Café
Dedication best defines the Salem Roadhouse Café: dedication to excellent music and dedication to the community. Now in its twelfth 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. Many of the performers describe the Roadhouse Cafe as “a great listening room” where serious music lovers can enjoy the performance without any distracting background noise.
Church music, it’s not
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 eleven 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, 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 a beautiful stage, good acoustics, a live, attentive audience, and a sound system that is first class. Live, active stage lighting enhances the shows.
The Salem Roadhouse Café often features many of the performers who have graced the stage in the past, as well as brings talent that is new to the Café stage. The current season is benefitting the YWCA Union County’s PALS arts therapy program for children who have witnessed domestic violence
Admission includes the show, snacks, beverages and dessert.
