Rock Salt and Nails Acoustic Band Concert at RPL

Join us for a fun afternoon of music at Rodman Public Library as the Rock Salt and Nails Acoustic Band (RSN) entertains with a mix of the blues, bluegrass, and ballads. The performance runs from 2 to 4 p.m., on Saturday, June 2, in Rodman Main Auditorium, and is suitable for all ages. The local band includes Keith McMahon from Homeworth, Jim Dutter from Louisville, and Priscilla Roggenkamp from Alliance. Rock Salt and Nails formed in 2008 when Keith, Priscilla and Jim joined forces to create music with a rich acoustic sound and solid vocals. Pulling inspiration from various directions, an eclectic group of influences can be heard in RSN original tunes and in the songs they cover. Sharing the lead, each of the group's members headlines songs, adds a harmony, or provides back up. Keith, on lead guitar and mandolin, brings a catalog of folk songs from the likes of Utah Phillips and Greg Brown. Priscilla, on the upright bass, and Jim, on the rhythm guitar, have written and co-written many of the songs in the band’s repertoire. She lends easy vocal harmonies and a thumping bass that covers songs by artists such as Sarah Jarosz and Bonnie Raitt, while Jim rounds out the trio, in his deep “Cash” voice, with his love of bluegrass and singer song writers such as Johnny Cash and Tom T Hall. This event is free and open to the public, supported by the Friends of Rodman Library. No registration is needed.
