Nu Cafe Concert Series – Featuring Roger Salloom

A cross between blues, roots, Americana, country, and soul, Roger Salloom always speaks from his heart. He has a self-deprecating, humorous, everyman quality, mixed with a powerful sensitivity and depth of character.

Roger Salloom was in the center of the 1960s San Francisco pyschedelic scene, playing the Fillmore with Santana, Van Morrison, BB King and Procul Harum. In the 1970s he moved to Nashville to pursue songwriting.

Chris Sautter, winner at the New York International Independent Film Festival for best political documentary (The King of Steeltown), completed a film in 2006 about Roger titled, “So Glad I Made It, The Saga of Roger Salloom, America’s Best Unknown Songwriter.” The film has screened to rave reviews for NARAS in New York at the Tribeca Cinema, the Belcourt Cinema in Nashville, TN, & at various theaters including The Academy of Music, Northampton, MA, The Regent Theater, Arlington MA, The Indiana Historical Society, Indianapolis IN, among others and has won the numerous awards and rave reviews.
