As a singer, guitarist and composer, Sal Baglio has touched all the bases that have rounded out a successful musical career. But with his recent work as a solo artist, Baglio embarks upon a new path that looks backward in the most delightful way. Baglio's music and solo performances dial up a past that is easily imagined in a less-distracted age where music bursts boldly out of a car's AM radio on a summer drive or floats in the imagination of a young solitary artist learning to strum his first guitar. Baglio will never be separated from the impulsive spirit of "American Fun" the hit he wrote with his legendary Boston band, The Stompers, that remains absolutely joyous in its sing-along refrain. Yet, as he ages -- and we with him -- Baglio reveals where all that great music began and why. His solo performances -- powerful, filled with humor and touched by the reflections of an artist still at work-- are not to be missed.

“Sal Baglio’s ability to be sad, poignant, witty, morbid, brilliant, hysterical, and downright ridiculous.....while being both oblique and accessible, all at the same, is unparalleled!” Rick Harris
