Sam Baker
Victoria Hotel, Menai Bridge
Remarkable Austin based singer/songwriter. Back in 1986, he was traveling in a train through Peru, when the car he was in was blown apart by a terrorist bomb, killing fellow passengers and leaving him clinging to life. Deafened and gravely injured, Baker spent the better part of the next decade working on both a physical and spiritual recovery. It was through storytelling and the art of songwriting that Baker turned to make sense of a sometimes senseless world.
In the last 5 years he has released two stand-out albums in which the songs are pictures sketched in short, spare lines and lay bare the honest truths and simple details of life.
