Sal Belloise
Band Story
Armed with an acoustic guitar and a head full of songs, Sal Belloise set out in a VW bus on his musical journey back in the hazy ’60s. He’s been traveling that road ever since, performing thousands of shows and meeting millions of faces. Along the way, his music—like his rich, melodic guitar work and vocals—has deepened with life experiences.
Belloise's fans span the globe and are an integral part of his creative process, as it’s his audience that determines which songs get recorded.
“I let the people dictate which songs are keepers and which ones are sleepers by the initial response they receive from applause,”
says Belloise, highlighting the importance of his fans’ participation and preferences.
Although one tune might resonate more in Ireland than in New York City, his acoustically driven music finds its rhythmic groove somewhere between powerful folk-rock and trans-pop.
Belloise was weaned on the vocal harmonies of the late psychedelic era—Crosby, Stills & Nash, Neil Young, James Taylor—and his guitar style is steeped in those sounds, mixed with the spirit of Jimi Hendrix and flavored by the warm southern nights of his upbringing on a small island off Florida’s west coast—Clearwater Beach—where he came of musical age.
A prolific songwriter for decades, Belloise, encouraged by his peers and audiences, released his debut album Nothing But Love in February 2008. His music has since received considerable airtime on independent radio in the U.S., U.K., and abroad. As that first album continues to garner accolades and downloads, Belloise is preparing to release his second album, The South in Me, in the summer of 2008.
Belloise writes from the heart, with uplifting messages and stories most listeners can relate to. He aspires to transform life’s everyday mediocrity into experiences that elevate and inspire.
“I want everyone to walk away feeling good,”
he confesses—and believes,
“There are pivotal songs in everyone’s life, songs that have special meaning and stay with you.”
This is what he hopes to achieve through his art: to reach as many people as possible and, through the universal language of song, find a way to unite people in peace through music.
To his fans he says,
“Thank you, thank you, thank you for listening.”
