ENTERTAINMENT Saturday, March 30, 2019 East Oregonian Contributed photo Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside will help celebrate the grand opening of The Lodge in Pendleton. They headline the fi rst “Live from the Leslie” concert series April 5. The Lodge launches ‘Live from the Leslie’ Grand opening event happens on April 5 By TAMMY MALGESINI East Oregonian The raw soul and rockabilly energy of Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside will take the stage in cel- ebration of the grand opening of The Lodge — Pendleton’s newest nightclub and music venue. Formerly the Pendleton Elks Lodge, Adam Mack (a local music promoter and member of James Dean Kindle & the East- ern Oregon Playboys) said they’re planning a monthly concert series, “Live from the Leslie.” It’s named after longtime Pendleton Elks Lodge #288 member, Les- lie “Tim” Moore. The suspended room is described as having a uniquely stunning “waved” ceil- ing, curved walls that are dotted with acoustic tiles and the best dance fl oor in Pendleton. The grand opening event is Friday, April 5 at 14 S.E. Third St., Pendleton. The doors open Contributed photo The Get Ahead will perform the opening set during “Live from the Leslie” April 5 at The Lodge in Pend- leton. at 5 p.m. for a celebratory open house. Food will be available from Mario’s Basque Bar B-Q, beer by The Prodigal Son Brew- ery & Pub, and cocktails served up by some of Portland’s top bartenders. The concert doors open at 7 p.m. Advance tickets are $10 via www.brownpapertickets. com. Tickets sold at the door are $12. The opening set features Port- land-based Americana band The Get Ahead. The fi ve-piece group said they’ve “evolved from ret- ro-soul evangelism to a more mature and distinct identity.” Their recent release, “Mind is a Mountain,” showcases their “gritty roots, while hinting at soul with simmering grooves, yearning vocals and purposeful lyrics.” After temporarily reuniting after a fi ve-year hiatus, Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside per- formed a pair of sold-out shows earlier this month at Mississippi Studios in Portland. During the early part of the decade, the Port- land-based band was riding a musical wave — even landing a performance on the “Late Show with David Letterman.” With no long-term plans on the horizon, people are encour- aged to catch the band’s Pendle- ton show. The group describes their sound as combining ele- ments of jazz, rhythm & blues, and rock ‘n’ roll — “fusing it with a contemporary energy and swagger.” And, wrapping up the evening will be an after (dance) party in the Stag Bar with DJ Kitty McK- laine. The ‘80s queen will spin synth, electro pop and more.
