Hypnotic Voodoo Rhythm & Blues & Rock & Roll Soul is how guitar ace Sal Baglio billed this show when he approached us last fall. He's put together six of the baddest cats in Boston music history...Barrence Whitfield -
R&B howler Barrence Whitfield is a man who lives for the era when rhythm & blues and rock & roll walked hand in hand, and his revved-up music and over-the-top vocal style make him one of the wildest frontmen of his time. A frantic soul shouter in the spirit of , , and Don Covay, Whitfield and his band earned a potent cult following after the release of their self-titled debut album in 1984. 1985's Dig Yourself and 1987 Ow! Ow! Ow! expanded on its energy. Whitfield sat out most of the 2000s, but 2012's Dig Thy Savage Soul proved he still had the goods, and 2018's Soul Flowers of Titan and 2023's Glory showed his command of party-starting soul was still potent.
Sal Baglio -
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.
