July 2025
Wednesday, July 2, 2025 from 5-7pm Constant Billy performs for the Open Gardens concert series at Gaiety Hollow, 545 Mission Street SE, Salem, OR 97302.
Gaiety Hollow, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, was the personal home and studio of groundbreaking landscape architects Elizabeth Lord and Edith Schryver. Completed in 1932, Gaiety Hollow comprises six distinct garden areas, integrated through a series of planned vistas. The charm of this lovely venue lies in how well classic garden design is adapted to a Pacific Northwest residence. Wherever you turn, the carefully laid-out gardens surprise and delight. You have to see it for yourself, and you’ll love it!
The gardens will be open to the public at no charge. To beat the summer heat, for the first time Gaiety Hollow will be open from 4:30-7:30pm; Emily & Bill are chuffed to perform from 5-7pm. Come stroll the grounds, or grab a chair as we serenade you. Admission is FREE!
WHAT: Constant Billy performs for the Open Gardens concert series at Gaiety Hollow.
WHEN: Wednesday, July 2, 2025 from 5-7pm (the whole event runs 4:30-7:30pm).
WHERE: 545 Mission Street SE, Salem, OR 97302.
WHY: To delight in splendid music amidst splendid gardens.
ADMISSION: Absolutely FREE! Donations to the gardens gladly accepted.
Saturday, July 6, 2025 from 7-9pm
Constant Billy performs at a Private House Concert, Salem Oregon.
We’re finalizing details on more performances for July and August, 2025. More info soon!
