Live Music: Loudmouth Soup Band, Moholland Drive and Gian Carlo Buscaglia

This weekend is packed with live music on the North Shore and a whole bunch of bands playing a wide variety of music genres, from classic rock to blues and soul, can be seen for free at rock clubs and restaurants throughout the region. 

Latin-American musician Gian Carlo Buscaglia is playing at the Howling Wolf in Salem on Friday night. Buscaglia, who got his start playing on the streets of Harvard Square, plays his flavor of various Latino music sub-genres, with traditional Latin-American beats accompanied by his powerful and emotional Spanish vocal parts.

Also the Loudmouth Soup Band is kickin' it at Supino's Restaurant in Danvers Saturday night and Moholland Drive will be at Timothy's at the Village Green.

All shows begin at 9 p.m. unless specified.
