Salty Brine Announces New Cabaret-Theater Hybrid AND IF YOU LISTEN VERY HARD

Salty Brine announces a new cabaret-theater hybrid production of And If You Listen Very Hard as the latest installment in his series, The Living Record Collection. And If You Listen Very Hard is inspired by Led Zeppelin's acclaimed album Led Zeppelin IV and Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. The show will perform at Pangea (178 2nd Avenue) on October 24 and November 9. On October 24, doors will open at 6:00pm and the show will begin at 7:00pm. On November 9, doors will open at 8:30pm and the show will begin at 9:30pm.

Award winning cabaret artist Salty Brine returns with stories of mutiny on the high seas and a prayer to the Gods of Rock. It's Robert Louis Stevenson's adventure novel, Treasure Island, set against the heavy-metal-meets-folk-rock masterpiece, Led Zeppelin IV, in the latest installment of The Living Record Collection.

And If You Listen Very Hard, created and performed by Salty Brine, is directed by Max Reuben with arrangements by Nate Weida.

Advance tickets are $20 and can be purchased online at www.thesaltiestbrine.com.
