The Baker Suite – Bio

Straight from the heart and reminiscent of a smoky, french cafe.  Guitarist and vocalist John Baker and accordionist Gayle Buckby create a seductive and potent world with compelling stories and lush instrumentation that carry the listener through elegant ballads, gypsy reggae and a lurching waltz in the rain at night.

John Baker is a storyteller. His song writing is intimate, playful and poetic with an ambiguity that draws the listener in.

You will often see The Baker Suite perform as a two-piece, however they are regularly joined by John Aue on double bass and BJ Barker on drums.  Other guest musicians include Paul Grabowsky (piano), Erkki Veltheim (viola) and Peter Raidel (horns).
