The first annual Salem Jazz and Soul Festival was a terrific
success, having sold out tickets to performances by Barrence
Whitfield, The Boston Horns, Los Sugar Kings, Eric Reardon
and Catfish Lucy, with free food, auction items and a raffle.  
Our series continued throughout the summer, culminating in
the main outdoor music festival at the Salem Willows on
August 18, 2007.   Some highlights:

Over
5,000 people enjoyed Festival events throughout the
summer

Nearly
100 volunteers helped make the Festival a success

5 Festival Sponsors, 6 Charleshurst Sponors, and
countless others donated goods and services to the cause

$2500 was raised for public music education programs in
Salem.
