SALON SOCIAL - Live music
Salon Social: A weekly gathering of art, music, conversation, and community—every Wednesday at the Salon.
D’Vonne Lewis returns to Salon Social in a big way, bringing an all-star ensemble to the gallery for an afternoon of groove, improvisation, and deep musical conversation. Joining him are powerhouse vocalist Ayesha “Musicbox” Brooks, vibraphonist Jacques Willis, and bassist Farko Dosumov—each a dynamic presence in the Northwest music scene. Together, this group moves fluidly between jazz, soul, and rhythm-driven improvisation, creating music that feels both grounded in tradition and alive in the moment. With D’Vonne at the helm on drums, expect layered interplay, rich textures, and the kind of electric exchange that can only happen in a room like this. Join us for an afternoon of sound, community, and shared rhythm.
Live music begins at 4 PM Free with RSVP
