The PSALM Salon - Philadelphia's Coolest Listening Room

REVIEWS AND KUDOS

"One of Philadelphia's most welcoming and intimate venues in a gorgeous old house in Overbrook Farms.
Going to PSALM has all the virtues of a house concert with a sound system worthy of a club, inspired booking, and plenty of street parking!" "One of my favorite venues!"
– Michaela Majoun, WXPN Morning Show Host

"The PSALM is a dream performance space. Perfect acoustics, top quality production values, a visually lovely setting, and an overall aesthetic ambience that, like a tea ceremony, lifts every gesture to it's highest level. It's perfection, both for the audience and the performers."
– Pete Kennedy, The Kennedys

"...the PSALM, where artists conduct and discuss their work in a seemingly nondenominational spiritual space.
The twinkle of burning candles in Depression glass, the scent of sandalwood: It's all here."

"Thank you for an amazing evening last night. How inspiring!! Such a rich tapestry of music, love, sensitivity, joy, community and that indescribable thing that happens when these elements occur together. And you make it all quite effortless by creating just the right ambience. Your amazing skill at music engineering takes the music to another level. It is wonderful to see all of your years in designing audio gear morph into your spiritual path and result in all this."

" Everyone in Dzieci has been glowing from our welcoming encounter with you. It is rare for us to find a place we unanimously and enthusiastically agree to return to.

Thank you so much, we look forward to further meetings on the path"
