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

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.
