Red Letter Day Concludes Spring Feature Friday Series May 11

SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University’s spring Feature Friday downtown Salisbury performance series concludes with Red Letter Day 6-7 p.m. May 11 at The Brick Room, 116 N. Division St.

The group features Suzanna Mallow, SU multimedia assistant (guitar); Colleen Clark, assistant professor of music technology (guitar); and alumnae Andrea Jones (saxophone) and Becca Doughty (percussion).

Mallow and Jones founded the band more than 25 years ago, performing a mix of original compositions and contemporary hits. In the past quarter-century, their albums have included Live from the Globe, 4 Bowls of Color, Until Then and Beefcandy. Influences include gospel, soul, blues and rock.

The band has been nominated for six Washington Area Music Awards, and its original music has been featured on TV shows including Smallville.

New York Entertainment Guide has compared Red Letter Day to “Van Morrison meets Saran McLachlan meets 4 Non Blondes,” adding that those harmonies combined with Mallow and Jones’ musical roots “sets them apart in their own realm … in a class by themselves.”

“Hardly a tune passes that doesn’t offer considerable rewards, a sharp melodic hook or a colorful array of folk and pop textures,” said The Washington Post.

Sponsored by the Whaley Family Foundation and SU’s Center for Extended and Lifelong Learning (CELL), admission is free and the public is invited (must be 21 to enter). Charges apply for food and drinks.
