The Salem Jazz and Soul Festival's Spring Gala fundraiser will take place at the Knights of Columbus, 94 Washington Square East in Salem, Mass., on April 21. Tickets are just $10 to see four bands and eat complimentary food. Please show your support by attending the event and joining our silent and live auctions. Our goal is to make Salem the next Athens, Ga., or Austin, Texas, while supporting music causes in Salem, such as the Salem High School music department. There's so much more to Salem than just witches and T-shirts; there is a batch of world-class musicians here. Your interest and support are pivotal if this thing is to be a success. Buy tickets SOON at In a Pig's Eye Restaurant, 148 Derby St., or online at www.salemjazzsoul.com. This thing is sure to sell out so don't be left on the outside, looking in. Thanks!
