Taking to the road in November Louis Baker will play a series of intimate stripped back solo shows across the North Island as a preview to his soon to be released self-titled debut EP. The tour starts in New Plymouth on Thurs 21st November.
Louis released 'Birds', the first single off his EP in September, 'Birds' received rave reviews online and was play listed on radio stations across the nation. He then went on to play two back to back sold out shows at Wellingtons Bats Theatre, the first of which sold out within 24 hrs of the tickets being released.
Tears shed, soul lifted, laughter gushed, time stopped, memories returned, a blessed moment. Thank you Louis.
There is no doubt, that a Louis Baker audience becomes an adoring audience. It is Louis' ability to connect that is seldom seen - a humble nature, humorous banter, soulful soaring vocals and telling open lyrics.

Baker's beautiful voice, [is] delicate and fragile, yet at the same time imbued with an emotional maturity - The Next2Shine
With an elegance and intimacy that is both bold and delicate, 'Birds' begins with a light guitar and vocal arrangement that lets Baker's vocals breathe and sit comfortably without reaching over a convoluted arrangement. It develops in a somewhat surprising way, but continues with the restricted arrangement that lets Baker's really pretty amazing voice draw you in. - Vanguard Red
The elegant simplicity of Birds with its delicate string arrangements puts this up there with my favourite tracks of the year, making this an obvious candidate for the NZMusic4U Honour Roll, which it is now part of. NZMusic4U
Love this song, your music makes me forget about everything when I listen to it, like a breath of fresh air.
