As the summer of 2022 comes to a close, so do many opportunities to listen to live music. However, there will still be plenty of music indoors. One such opportunity happened a couple of weeks ago when Doug Baker played at the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market on Yanceyville Street. Doug has been a performing musician in Greensboro since graduating UNCG in 1978. He says, “For the most part, I’ve been a lead guitar player in rock bands, but I’ve also done some big band jazz, a lot of free improvisation, and a little bit of musical theatre pit work.” However, songwriting is Doug's true passion and something he has focused on for the last seven years. He is very involved in the local songwriting community. As one example, he hosts a monthly songwriter's round at Scuppernong Books. The next event in the series will be on October 9th at 4pm, and Doug will perform.
Doug also gives guitar, bass, ukulele, and songwriting lessons. If you want to hear some of his music or contact him about lessons, performing engagements, or facilitating a singer-songwriting event, go to his website dougbakermusic.com. Doug has expertise in many areas. Also, last year (2021), Doug released his first album of original songs "Navigating Life." In March, he had a concert in The Crown at the Carolina Theatre. Doug is committed not only to sharing his own talent, but also helping other singer songwriters showcase theirs.
May we all find a little live music to enrich out lives.
Happy Wednesday!
A good shot!
