I'd like to thank Bob Harris for my introduction to Sam and his music and to Steve Henderson (Mr Kite) for seeing him 'live' as support to Lucy Kaplansky. Described as "the missing link between Townes Van Zandt and John Prine" Sam went down a storm at The Bury Met on his first, but hopefully not his last, vist in 2007. One to look out for! |
|
 |
In 1986 Sam was traveling by train in Peru when a bomb from a terrorist group exploded right next to him. The little girl he'd been talking to was killed along with half a dozen others, and his own injuries required 18 operations. His mangled left hand was rebuilt, work on his ears left him with a loud ringing that never stops, though he says he's made his peace with it. His shows are a joy to behold, he is seen here accompanied by Carrie Elkin and Chip Dolan at shaw Playhouse.
|
|
 |
Just some of Sam's reviews "An artist worth waiting for" - NPR All Things Considered; "The Bard of the Workaday World" - Wall Street Journal;"Every composition has the inescapable ring of life and death" - New Yorker; "One of the finest of the modern-day veteran Texas troubadours" - American Songwriter; "He takes fragments of poems and hymns and discarded memories and weaves 'em together." - NPR Here and Now |

In November 2015 Sam Baker was joined by good friend, Carrie Elkin, on his tour, 'Love Songs and Duets' which included covers of songs they love and, of course, a selection of everyone's favourite originals. |
|
 |
In February 2018 Sam Baker returned to The Bury Met with his fifth album, 'Land of Doubt', laying aside his acoustic guitar and picking up an electric one. In just the same way he moves from camera to paintbrush in his art, it's a seamless change which still captures that beauty he seeks. This time around he was accompanied by Mike Meadows who can be found playing regularly with Shawn Colvin amongst others. |
|
 |
Sam Baker and Radoslav Lorkovic In early 2020 Sam toured to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of 'Mercy', the release that started his career in music, accompanied by the wonderfully talented and classically trained Radoslav Lorkovic on keyboards and accordion. |

Sam Baker, Ashlie Wallace and Tim Lorsch Sam Baker makes people happy. The characters in his songs face many challenges – alcoholism, car wrecks, racism, drug addiction, a mother’s abandonment – but they persevere. Much like Sam himself. |

Caitlin Canty delivers her songs with a dusky alto and a 1930’s Recording King guitar.
