After a two-year COVID absence, the SALEM ROADHOUSE CAFÉ announces its GRAND RE-OPENING for Saturday, 9 April 2022. The doors open at 7:20 PM. Carrie Jackson — a frequent and beloved performer at the Roadhouse Café for the past 15 seasons — headlines the re-opening along with her Jazzin’ All-Stars Band. The Roadhouse suspended performances early in 2020 in response to the COVID pandemic. Carrie Jackson is a top jazz artist performing in the New Jersey/New York area. She pours her heart into classical jazz favorites from soulful sultry pop to poignant mellow gospel. Carrie nurtured her talent in Newark, the Jazz Mecca of New Jersey. Carrie attributes her vocal style to her mentors, the Great Ladies of Jazz: Sarah “Sassy” Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Nancy Wilson, and Carmen McRae. The Jazzin’ All-Star Band backs her up, buoys her up, and carries the audience away. One never knows who Carrie may bring along with her, either. As always, the Salem Roadhouse Café is live, intimate, up front, and personal. All ages are welcome. • Triumphal return: 9 April 2022. • SALEM ROADHOUSE CAFÉ, 829 Salem Rd., Union, NJ 07083 • Doors open 7:20PM. Show starts at 7:45PM. • Admission: $20.00. Admission includes show, snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, and dessert. Plan now for an evening of great music in Northern New Jersey’s Most Intimate Coffeehouse™. We ask that patrons wear masks while inside during the show.
