ON THE ROAD WITH KELLI BAKER BAND
February 2026
BIG NEWS!!
Mid-West Blues Fans & @followers! This week, I'll be hitting the road with Gulf Coast Recordsartist, The Kelli Baker Band for a couple shows in the Chicago, IL and Indiana areas! Come out and Party with us, it'll be a great time! I'm super grateful for the opportunity to be playing guitar with such a talented group of musicians and just all around cool cats!
Please Note: Originally, I was scheduled Saturday Feb 28th for an acoustic show at the The Blarney Stone Pub in Norwich NY, this has been rescheduled. My good friend, Denny McCormick will be playing for you all instead. Make sure you show him some support!
"Recently signed to Gulf Coast Records by blues legend Mike Zito, powerhouse vocalist and songwriter Kelli Baker continues her meteoric rise as one of the most electrifying voices in modern blues-rock. With a voice that commands attention and lyrics that cut to the bone, Baker has earned a reputation for setting stages ablaze across the country.
Crowned the winner of the 2024 615 Blues Revival Competition in Nashville—judged by blues icons like Kenny Wayne Shepherd—Kelli is more than a performer; she’s a reckoning. Her July tour included support dates for Grammy-winning guitarist Christone Kingfish Ingram and genre-defying Samantha Fish, placing her alongside the most influential names in contemporary blues. Fall ‘25 brought a rousing impact, opening the headliner stage for ICP at Full Throttle, and ZZ Top at NYC’s esteemed, Beacon Theatre.
From her early days singing in Phoenix gospel choirs to lighting up New York’s legendary venues like The Bitter End and The Cutting Room, Kelli’s sound is an arresting fusion of rock grit, blues soul, and siren-like poetry. Her music has topped the Roots Music Report, and her live shows are known for leaving audiences breathless."

FIRE UP THE VW BUS, WHO'S FOLLOWING THE TOUR!!??
A Few years ago, I put on a show called "Blues is Dead," where a bunch of my friends and I played some our favorite Blues tunes that the Grateful Dead covered in their sets. The response was insane! The Crossover Audience and the fresh take on the Dead's tunes were welcomed with open arms in the Theater that night. For three years, people have asked me to take that show on the road. Well, this is the year! This is a VERY LIMITED Tour Schedule, so make your plans now to hit the road with us this summer!
