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.

Every summer, deep in the woods of New Hampshire, campers gather around a towering bonfire; They howl like wild dogs, stamp their feet upon the dirt, and recite the Law of the Jungle. Salty Brine continues his Living Record Collection with Harry Nilsson's hit album, Nilsson Schmilsson, woven through the stories of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book like you’ve never heard them before. “Oh hear the call!— Good hunting all— that keep the Jungle Law!”

ORIGINAL MUSIC BY NATE WEIDA

“Three young sisters are left in a forest by their woodcutter father and forced to find their own way in the world. From this fairytale beginning, three resolutions are made — one sister walks one way to find purpose, one the other to find adventure, and the third stays right where she is to create a home. Years later, having circumnavigated the globe and fought vikings, crossed oceans, tamed wilds, and achieved greatness, the three sisters meet again, as women.”

Salty Brine and Nate Weida know all the ways to please you in this funkalicious evening of grooves, moves, and attitude. Put on your bedroom eyes and leave your inhibitions at the door as this dynamic duo unfolds a tangled web of awkward sex stories and lessons in lovemaking, all set to the superfine music of Prince’s dirty little album Purple Rain.   If you're lucky, we might be saying Thank U 4 a Funky Time after this month’s edition of The Living Record Collection.
