The Ambassador and the Chosen Few at Parkway Brewing Salem
About This Event
The Ambassador and the Chosen Few are back at Parkway Brewing Company in Salem on Friday, November 13, 2026, from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM. It’s an early Friday set, with Stacey’s Grill 2 Go parked out front, so you can eat, grab a pint, and be dancing before the sun has been down an hour.
The Ambassador is Stephen Gabriel Lewis, a Virginia native who has kept a foot in both the Virginia and Southern California reggae scenes. His sound runs reggae through blues, rock and hip hop, carried by a big soulful vocal, and he has performed and recorded alongside Midnite, The Wailers, Steel Pulse, Stick Figure and Xavier Rudd. His album New Roots was nominated World Music Album of the Year at the San Diego Music Awards, and Cali Love followed with the Pato Banton collaboration “Powerful Love.” The Chosen Few is the full band he brings out when the room calls for more than an acoustic set, and Parkway’s taproom does.
Parkway Brewing sits just off Exit 141 in Salem, a big taproom in the Blue Ridge with live music most nights of the week. Leashed, well behaved dogs are welcome, and the early start makes this an easy one to bring the whole crew to.
