Insider Picks

The hardest working man in Salem’s music sceen Radio Scotvoid hosts the happenings at Gulu-Gulu Friday night. First he spins the wax on the 45′s and 33′s then theres a killer freestyle Salem Jazz & Soul improv event at 9PM followed up by Radio Scotvoid and DJ Noel Snow on the laptops and turntables.  Wow I can’t wait!  Saturday daytime is all about the Salem Willows for Jazz and Soul and later if you can get some tickets, head over to Spirits for Five Funny Females to start your night off.  Then mosey down the street as El Rancho saddles up at Dodge Street for their unique sounds of funky crunky jazzy metal bringing Criticize as their opening possee.
