Sal Baglio, Lead singer for the seminal 80’s rock and roll band The Stompers, Baglio has continued to hone his craft, writing original songs for the past fifteen years. His one-man carnival ride includes his new album Music For Abandoned Amusement Parks. Part music, part storytelling, Sal’s show is pure musical memory theatre. Anyone who ever ran to a music store, rushed home to their turntables, read ALL of the liner notes of their favorite bands will be transported by Mr. Baglio’s stories, original songs, AND cover songs featured in his performance.

Allen Estes The Estes Boys performed in and around New England and by the mid 80's Allen moved to Nashville TN, writing and working with Tammy Wynette, Robert Ellis Oral, Lori Morgan, and Shania Twain. After 10 years, Gloucester called him back, and in the 90's Allen recorded with writer Frank Tedesco. Estes has become a well known folk figure in New England and elsewhere, performing and writing the kind of music which reflect both the personal pain and the joy of an artist's journey.
