The Salem Jazz and Soul Festival is a 501(c)3 non-profit
organization that produces free concerts for the public and
raises money to support music education programs.  We
are an all volunteer run organization.

Since we started the festival in 2007, we've produced over
40 free concerts for the public, highlighting both local
music talent and national acts.

In addition to allowing us to produce free music events for
the public, proceeds from the festival benefit music
education programs on the North Shore of Massachusetts.
To date, we've raised almost $20,000 for music education
programs in schools and youth programs on the North
Shore.

Thank you music lovers on the North Shore and many
other communities who traveled to Salem for the 5th
Annual Salem Jazz & Soul Festival that was held at the
Salem Willows 8/20 & 8/21. This year we brought the hot
sounds of national New Orleans funk and jazz bands to
the Salem Willows in addition to the fine musicians who
call this area their home (
2011 line-up details).

If the huge crowds of concert goers who attended both
days of the Festival are any indication, we continue to be
on the right track bringing entertainment that our fans and
supporters enjoy. We want to thank Salem and all of the
Festival fans for your support as we strive to present
outstanding musical programs and support music
education in the Salem area. We think our new motto for
the festival, “Great Music for a Greater Cause,” best
explains what we are all about.

There are so many people who made this year’s The
Salem Jazz and Soul Festival a success. These include:
the musicians, performers and volunteers, emcee Henley
Douglas Jr., the city agencies and elected officials and
especially Salem Mayor, Kimberly Driscoll  for addressing
our audience during the Festival on Saturday and of
course all of the more than 5,000 to 6,000 jazz and soul
fans who came out to enjoy the music on both days.

We would also like to thank all those who generously
donated to our cause, most especially our major
corporate sponsors that include: Taché Real Estate, the
Salem Five Charitable Foundation,  Ipswich Ale, The
Lobster Shanty, Creative Catering, Cabot Money
Management, Berklee College of Music, Structures North,
Scullers Jazz Club, the Hawthorne Hotel, Tavern in the
Square, Salem Trolley, Wylie Inn, Beverly Cooperative
Bank, Shirts Illustrated, My Reserve Plan, The Salem Inn,
North Shore Eye Care, Chiantis, Freedom
Communications, The Antique Table and Elite Guardian
Solutions.

Again, thanks to our performers, our audiences,
sponsors, and the City of Salem for your continued trust
and support.
