BAKER’S RESPECT OF FAMILY VALUES, ROOTS, AND TRADITION IS EVIDENT THROUGHOUT HIS MUSIC. HIS DEBUT RELEASE, “THE ART OF NOT KNOWING,” FEATURES HIS MOTHER ON FIDDLE, FATHER ON KEYS, UNCLE ON DRUMS, HIMSELF ON MANY OTHER INSTRUMENTS, IN ADDITION TO SEVERAL OTHER SEATTLE MUSICAL STALWARTS. THE ARTWORK FOR HIS NEWEST RELEASE, “PRESENT DAY,” FEATURES A SERIES OF PHOTOS FROM A 1970 HOUSE CONCERT OF HIS POPS PERFORMING, HIS MOM IN ATTENDANCE, AND COPS BUSTING THE PARTY.
WHEN NOT TOURING WITH AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR AND 2 FULL LENGTH ALBUMS, BAKER CAN BE FOUND HELPING OTHER ARTISTS FURTHER REALIZE THEIR ART BY HELPING THEM RECORD AND PERFORM MUSIC. BAKER HAS BEEN ON OVER 30 ALBUMS AND PERFORMS 200+ SHOWS A YEAR. HIS BAND NORMAN BAKER & THE BACKROADS DOUBLE AS BACKING BAND AND SESSION BAND FOR OTHER ACTS.
