saldajeLast Concert of the Season!
Sunday, May 31, 2015
SALDAJE
Showtime: 7pm

Meet “The darkest ukulele band in Northern Michigan.” 
   Saldaje – aka Melonie Steffes and Shaun Anchak, along with their lineup of assorted ukuleles, violin, mandolin, guitar, harmonicas, and toy piano – have proclaimed themselves that very thing, naming themselves after a Portuguese word meaning “longing” and gaining plenty of attention for their eclectic and expressive performances.
   Their focus? Haunting, old-world folk balladry influenced by the likes of Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Suzanne Vega, and Nina Simone. And a stage presence that decorates their audio with a Victorian-meets-Eastern European gypsy flair.


The couple’s most recent album, “Turn Back a Page,” soared to No. 5 on the Folk Radio Airplay Chart in 2010, thanks to “tender, beautifully performed acoustic music with a traditional flair.”
