Dear Friends:

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the demise of The Salon @ Wilde Roast Café, 10/11was our final show. The Salon has been the one way I could “refill my pitcher” each week, to be able to continue pouring my love and energy into my heroic son as he fights his cancer. These Thursday nights have meant more to me than you can possibly imagine. A million times, thank you.
I have an intense desire continue to serve both artists and audiences by providing this weekly showcase, to broaden our horizons, connect with stimulating people, and strengthen community. Through live music, theatre, poetry, good manners, and intelligent discussion, we can share sincere and passionate ideas and a love of the arts. I am seeking a new venue immediately, so that we may continue this vital dialogue, through music and spoken word. If you have any leads, please contact henry@braincandyproject.org as soon as possible.

I am grateful to Scott Dercks, for sticking by me these last couple of years. You have been such a gift, my friend.

I am grateful to Steve Hegman for jumping into the Piano Bar Night with so much grace and talent, and for believing in me.

I am grateful to my weekly guests who kept coming and coming, week after week, to share your passion, culture and class with our audiences.

I am grateful to Tom DeGree & Dean Schlaak for their support this year, and encourage you all to keep patronizing Wilde Roast Café.

And I am grateful to you, dear Friends, for your constant support, patronage and love over this past year. This has simultaneously been the best and worst year of my life, as most of you know.

I will keep you updated as The Salon searches for its new home.

In Service,

Henry Allen
