Sal Baglio & The Sensational Rock N Roller Coaster Ride

“The stompers 1977-2021 are no more. But For fans of founder Sal Baglio, as he, in his many musical guises, has created yet another way of sharing the sublime gifts of his cross-genre devotion to rock and progressive pop. On  his new amalgam, “The Sensational Roller Coaster ride,” will appear on Friday OCTOBER 21st 2022 at SPIRE CENTER for PERFORMING ARTS  Plymouth, MA. Where The Stompers left off, Mr. baglio and his luminaries Dan Kopko [guitar] Brad Hallen [bass] Marty richards [drums] will carry the torch with “A feedback moan with a four on the floor roar and backbeat!” Drawing from the deep well of his forty five plus years as one of New England’s prominent composers and performers, get ready for songs from The Amplifier heads, The Peppermint Kicks, The Stompers as well as a few choice songs by artists that have inspired and have become part of Sal Baglio’s musical DNA. It’s new and old at the same time; heart stopping and thoughtful—what we’ve come to expect from Mr. Baglio.” -Ed Morneau
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. New
paths or old, Baglio projects a welcome sense of place, family and friends, a “pocket full of memories” where streets named
London and Liverpool strike more than mere fancy allusions to the Beatles, the Kinks and others. They set fire in the mind of a
young artist that will forever remain in his persona. Free of the demands of the music industry, Baglio is liberated to recall the past without sentimentality but with a flourish of great stories that underpin his new songs — songs that aim for the gentle heart.
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. Frank Conte Editor and Publisher EastBoston.com
