Salem Witchcraft original members were Mark Derrick, Dennis Lazarksi, Arlen Viecelli, Jim Duffey, David Hall, and Moe O’Shaughnessy.
They booked their first show in 1970 on New Year’s Eve. They had a van, P.A. system, and a manager (Bob Drake). Soon after Arlen joined the band, they hired their first of three keyboard players (Dave Hall). They bought a 23-foot equipment truck, 16-channel P.A. system, an eight-channel side monitor board, full light show (including two Super Trooper thousand-watt follow spots), hired an attorney and CPA (on retainer), a road manager (Chris Best), five full-time roadies, a national booking agency, a national management company, and purchased a house on Ford Road (in Garden City) where the road crew lived. The band toured with Canned Heat on a 45-day international tour. They added Kurt Schreitmueller on the keyboards from 1976 to 1979.
The band rose to local stardom, hitting the road with many prominent rock acts. Witchcraft went on hiatus in 1985 and has played periodically since then.
