Salvatore Baglio June 7, 2008

Musician, recording artist and a bit of the ol soft shoe for more than 3 decades. Press "Perhaps the most inspiring and original set of tunes weve heard yet. Fans of lo-fi are likely to yield no end of Magnetic Fields, Stephin Merritt, Flare, Babybird, Daniel Johnston and Santa Sprees related pleasures but this manic little screwball high-school review has something all of its own. Exquisite tunes, tirelessly referential images, soundtracky, sequential and plucked from a sparkly constellation of toys and stars. Bloody marvellous. Every tune a winner." Alan Sargeant CRUD MAGAZINE "Salvatore Baglio offers up a certified lo-fi gem with his new release Memory Theatre. Creating stark musical backgrounds with synths, guitars and anything else Apples GarageBand offers up. Baglio punches in his voice in varied states of consciousness and lets the hard drive capture the essence of the event. Baglios subject matter is just as wacky and diverse as his choice of musical weaponry. "45" waxes nostalgic about vinyl. Salvatore Baglio continues to evolve musically and spiritually. Douglas Sloan Metronome March 2008 LIVE REVIEW PERKS COFFEEHOUSE 11/9/07 What follows is sheer poetrya poignant suite that places the heart of Salvatore Baglio onto a grand musical scale. It includes most of the sensational tunes from his new album, as well as selected tunes from his catalog interspersed with personal favorites like Waterloo Sunset and Happiness is a Warm Gun, offering sordid stories about his flamboyant past growing up in East Boston, and concluding with his transformation into a reformed, rejuvenated performer. All this laid bare with just an acoustic guitar! For this stunning personal declaration of faith, he receives a standing ovation from the transfixed audience. Phew! (Mr. Curt) www.thenoise-boston.com GREAT SCOTT ALLSTON MA. 11/6/07 INTERNATIONAL POP OVERTHROW Sals clever solipstic sojourns through his past (from his brilliant new CD Memory Theatre) carry the night with sheer personality. Starboy and The Boy with the Amplifier Head shine with delicacy and dynamics before he decides to crank it up on 45 and Rock Band. Its a thrill to see him churning out radiant solos with acoustic bassist Sven Larson matching him note for note. Sal always puts out 100 percentdoesnt matter the size of the crowd or the venue. The trio finishes to a rousing ovation. www.thenoise-boston.com "Baglio is truly New England Rock Royalty and though the crown might be slightly bloodied from the wear of the road, it shines with the jewels of genius" Brian Wheeler Marblehead Festival of Arts www.marbleheadfestival.org LIVE Sven Larson...double bass Seth Pappas...drum/glockenspiel Salvatore Baglio...guitar/voice
