Welcome to the PSALM Salon Performing Arts Center
Information and Ticketing Site!
"This is a music lover's paradise!"
- a fan
The PSALM Salon is Philadelphia's coolest intimate venue for great music listening. The Salon invites music lovers to experience the finest in live music from the world over, all in the cozy comfort of home, but with the impeccable production values of a high end professional concert hall... complete with live HD internet broadcasting and 32 track recording.
PSALM only invites the the very best to perform here. The Salon is booked about a year in advance with top touring artists who love playing our room. You will be delighted to discover exciting new performers, as well as music legends, and hear them on a stunning, world class sound system in an acoustically balanced space that might be found only in a few of the highest end venues of any size. It is a music lovers dream. We do not advertise, and people only find out about us through their friends... and in eight years we have built a world-wide reputation as the place to play in Philadelphia.
There is never a so-so evening here. It is a warm and welcoming place to share in some of the most wonderful eclectic music of every style and genre found anywhere, make new friends, enjoy really good Chinese food (BYO welcome) expertly prepared by hostess and chef, Suyun Reilly, and meet stellar musicians one on one. It is a completely unique musical enjoyment experience. Lovers of theater, dance, comedy, performance art, and literary readings will also find much to get excited about.
The intimate 60 seat PSALM Salon was started by the 501(c)(3) not-for-profit (completely non-religious) arts and culture organization, Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature & Music (hence the acronym) in the home of host Jamey Reilly (at left, photo courtesy Mike Lynch Photo), PSALM's chairman.
New guests always do a double take when they discover this amazing venue tucked into a living room. It's been called many things by reviewers trying to categorize it, including "a house concert on steroids", "the ultimate man-cave", and "the music mansion". But whatever you call it, this is the way music was meant to be heard.
Jamey's decades of experience as a musician, professional engineer, record producer and venue manager has given him a keen understanding of what is missing in the way music is typically presented. Our sole purpose is to welcome people into our home and provide them with the kind of gold-key experience that is unavailable just about anywhere else... in a warm and vibrant place completely devoted to the making and enjoying of music.
Please check out our online videos and schedule of upcoming shows where you can buy discounted advance tickets to join Jamey, Suyun, top musical artists and well known local radio personalities for unforgettable evenings of music, food and friendship.
Don't forget our free monthly BLUES JAM the first Wednesdays of every month from 7 to 10PM, featuring the PHILLY BLUES KINGS with many local players sitting in. Find details on our news page link.
ON THE MENU AT SHOWTIME
An optional authentic Cantonese home-style (meat or vegetarian) Chinese dinner expertly prepared by Chef Suyun Reilly (owner of China's Heaven-Heaven Restaurant and hostess of the PSALM Salon) is available at each show from 7:30 onward featuring delicious boxed dinners for the low price of $8.
Typically featured is Suyun's melt-in-your-mouth fried rice, curried potatoes, marinated spiced cucumber, vegetable spring rolls, banana spring rolls, oriental wraps and other gourmet creations that will satisfy your palate.
Chips, soft drinks, hot tea and coffee are available without charge. Remember to come hungry and BYO wine or beer! No dinner reservations are needed, and there are no corking or tipping fees.
Suyun also travels to China to import hand made Chinese artisan wear, jewelry and other items for wholesale and retail that appeal to the ladies in our audience. Her prices are very very low compared to those in Chinatown. In addition, she is a master knitter and offers custom made hats, scarves, shawls and sweaters at bargain prices.
