About Erick Baker:
Erick Baker has landed a few sweet gigs of late—solid opening sets for the likes of John Legend, Edwin McCain, and James Blunt are quickly earning him a reputation around the region for his genuine and heartfelt performances.
A recent interview with Asheville's Mountain Xpress reveals a glimpse of the motivation behind Baker's music:
“A lot of people can’t express what they feel,” he explains. Baker sees his music as giving a voice to what his listeners aren’t able to put into their own words. Proof positive: Baker’s set list of deeply personal tunes, sung with aching intensity, manages to connect with fans across demographic lines.
“I write the songs for myself,” Baker says. “It’s whatever I’m feeling, but the things I’m writing about are very universal.”
