Salem Walk is an Austin, Texas psych-pop band. Their sound ranges from 60’s psychedelia to 90’s alternative-rock. The band consists of JoDee Purkeypile (vocals, guitar, and keyboard) and Sean Crooks (bass and vocals), both ex-members of the well reviewed Austin band The Alice Rose, Jason Morris (guitar and vocals), Esther Garcia (guitar, keyboard, and vocals), and Michael Jade (drums). The group was formed in early 2013 after the release of JoDee’s second solo album, Messenger. In the autumn of 2015, after a number of regional and national tours, the group began working on material for what was meant to become Purkeypile’s third solo album, but by mid 2016 it was decided they would perform and record as Salem Walk, named after the street which JoDee had grown up on, and where, beginning in the late 1990’s, he had written and recorded much of his music. JoDee, Sean, Jason, and Esther, along with ex-Alice Rose keyboardist Brendan Rogers, began recording sessions for their debut album that August at Estuary Recording in Austin. Drummer Michael Jade joined in late September. Salem Walk is preparing to release their first single, “Mystery Design”, in early 2017.
