by Nate Rafn

Salem House Concerts will host a dinner and garden-concert on August 28th to benefit KMUZ 88.5 FM, the Mid-Willamette Valley's new community radio station. Music will be performed by Bill Hughs, Karen Dumont and Nathan Olson, with Brian Cutean headlining the show. Food for the event will be prepared by chef Marc Nassar.

"I can’t think of a better artist to come perform for KMUZ than Brian Cutean," says Nassar. "Brian is one of those fairly local, fairly loco, unique, independent, purely sincere and wildly original performers who can entertain you in so many ways."
