Unravel the archaeological discoveries of Salem’s incredible Native American village in “The Archaeology of Totera Town: Its Place in Native American History.” Admission is free for this Salem Museum speaker series talk on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at 7:00 PM at the Salem Museum. This talk is in partnership with the Historical Society of Western Virginia.

In his talk, Dr. Michael Barber, a research fellow at the Longwood Institute of Archaeology, explores the fascinating discoveries made in Totera Town, an indigenous settlement prominently noted in 1670s explorations of western Virginia and located where the Moyer Sports Complex now stands. Hear about the 1990s salvage efforts on the site by a team of dedicated archaeologists and local volunteers, and how their discoveries illustrate the village’s contributions to understanding indigenous settlement, ethnicity, commerce, and overall colonial relations.

In addition to exploring the Salem Museum’s Native American displays, attendees are encouraged to visit the Historical Society of Western Virginia to observe the Totera Town artifacts on display at their museum. Located at 101 Shenandoah Ave NE in Roanoke, the Society highlights and celebrates the rich heritage of western Virginia, boasting a wide variety of historical artifacts, photographs, and documents. Their museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

“just saw THE REBIRTH BRASS BAND, unbelievable. hard as hell, free as a ray of light, there is not a band on earth that is better. stunning.” - Flea, Red Hot Chili Peppers

For almost 4 decades, the Grammy winning Rebirth Brass Band has been “stunning” fans with a fiery live show and a rich musical catalog. Their trademark sound pays homage to the New Orleans brass band tradition while weaving a tapestry that combines elements of jazz, funk, soul, R&B and the sounds from the streets they grew up on. From their legendary 25+ year run of Tuesday nights at the Maple Leaf to stages all over the world, Rebirth is the soundtrack of the Crescent City and her premier musical ambassador.

Founded by brothers Phil and Keith Frazier over 35 years ago, Rebirth began their career playing on the sidewalks of the French Quarter, and quickly landed gigs at second line parades. Those auspicious beginnings have led to thousands of shows to music aficionados everywhere, including heads of state and royalty.

The bands unique “soundtrack of New Orleans” has also garnered admiration from artists of all genres. They’ve shared the stage and collaborated with everyone from the Grateful Dead to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Maceo Parker, Green Day, U2, James Brown, 311, G-Love, MuteMath, Juvenile, Train, Big Freedia, Ani Difranco, Galactic, Allen Touisant, Neville Brothers, Quincy Jones and Trombone Shorty.

When Saigon fell in 1975, so ended one of America’s most controversial conflicts – the Vietnam War. For many Virginians, however, there remained a feeling of disconnectedness which was to endure for decades. Members of the public, divided over America’s participation in the war, were reluctant to ask questions of veterans, while service members resisted volunteering information and much of the government’s war policy remained classified. Even now, no agreed upon narrative of the war exists. Public opinion polls indicate that many Americans concluded that the war was a mistake, while a majority of veterans felt proud of their service, and numerous refugees and immigrants from Vietnam made the U.S. their home. Through this display, the Virginia Museum of History & Culture (VMHC) aims to restore Virginians’ connection with this pivotal moment in our history while honoring those who felt the impact of the war long after it ended.

On the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, now is the time to ask new questions about Virginia and the Vietnam War. This display will provide guests access to the VMHC's collected oral histories. It will invite guests to immerse themselves in the choices, perspectives, and experiences of Virginians during the Vietnam War era, and to consider the long-term impact of the conflict on the politics, culture, and population of the Commonwealth in order to help facilitate untapped understandings about this tumultuous time.

GUITARIST | BASSIST | PRODUCER

Baltimore, Maryland native Kevin Jackson has been taking the Smooth Jazz industry by storm since 2012, performing with artists such as Sheila E, Wyclef, and Maysa, to name a few.

Jackson's mix of original compositions and acoustic renditions take his listeners on a ​soulful and rhythmic journey​. Jackson produces projects that offer something for every person’s taste, whether it is Rock, Contemporary Christian, Jazz, Soulful R&B and more.

Jackson is often thought of as a “quiet giant” due to his humble and quiet nature but, once on stage, it’s easy to see this is where he is most comfortable, and where he comes to life through his music. His live productions set him apart from the rest. In more recent years, Jackson has had the opportunity to open for and perform with smooth jazz artists like Marcus Johnson, Jeanette Harris and Jackiem Joyner, to name a few.

In 2012, Jackson embarked on a career to record his first album, Stories In Color, which was met with critical acclaim. His sophomore offering, The Mirrored Truth garnished the single “Favorite Way”, which was considered for a Grammy for song of the year. His song “We Got Us” from his third album Full Circle was also considered for a Grammy in 2018. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Jackson continued his work and love for music by performing private shows for family, friends, and fans alike. He successfully recorded his fourth smooth jazz debut album entitled Elevation in August 2021. Two singles, “Elevation", featuring Judah Sealy, and “Druid Hill Park” are currently streaming on all platforms and in rotation on Watercolors, Sirius XM Radio. His current single, “KJ’s Vybe” was released in April 2023 ahead of his soon to be released fifth studio album in 2024. Kevin’s newest single “Be Free” can be currently heard on Watercolors and all streaming platforms.
