The Salem Jazz and Soul Festival’s fourth-annual Spring Gala concert will be held on Saturday evening, April 17, in the Peabody Essex Museum’s atrium. “ALL KEYED UP” will feature the area’s 
hottest pianists, organists and keyboard players performing a full evening of jazz, soul, boogie woogie and blues.
Artists for the evening include Grammy Award-winner David Maxwell, Marty Rowen and Ken Clark of Fats Hammond, Jen Kearney of Jen Kearney and the Lost Onion and Benjamin Zecker of the Boston Horns.
The evening’s excusive sponsor is Tache Real Estate. The concert benefits the fourth-annual Salem Jazz and Soul Festival, scheduled for Aug. 21-22 at the Salem Willows, as well as four performances in Salem’s Derby Square throughout the summer. As in previous years, plans call for a week-long Festival of events and performances in clubs and restaurants in the city in mid-August.
Proceeds from the night will support the Salem Jazz and Soul Festival’s mission to support music education programs and provide free concerts for the public.
Tickets for the Spring Fundraiser are $50 per person or $45 for PEM members.
