(New York, NY) – GRAND BOULEVARD: During the isolation of covid, guitarist/educator/composer Carl Baldassarre amassed a significant and diverse recording catalog with products to be released over the next several years. His inaugural solo album GRAND BOULEVARD is scheduled for release on April 28th, 2023.
