If Jack Johnson, The Lumineers, and Led Zeppelin had a baby, it would grow up to be Beau Baker.

Minneapolis-based singer/songwriter Beau Baker crafts his rhythmically inspired songwriting style with strong vocals to create lush roots-rock Americana music. Growing up in Minneapolis, MN, Beau took to music at an early age, learning percussion, guitar, and piano. Anxious to perform, he formed his first garage band at 14 while a member of his high school jazz band, pep band, marching band and the annual talent show’s “house band”. His focus on guitar led him to explore the complexities of some of his inspirations like Neil Young and Jimmy Page, among MANY others. Resulting in lyrically vivid songs with intricate melodies underscored by dense rhythms.
The band is gaining traction in the local music scene as one of the Twin Cities’ great new emerging artists. After 30+ gigs in 2023 and the upcoming CD release in 2024, the band is leaning into festivals and larger venues as their popularity grows. The new recordings give stage to Beau’s rich vocal strength, showcasing the broad range of styles inherent in his songwriting. From the bluesy swing feel of ‘Cuz of You, to the technical guitar riffs of Can You Feel It, audiences are loving the energy Beau brings to the stage. Beau plays a solid 120 minute set of original music with another 90 minutes of classic covers if needed to fill out over a 3 hour set. He demonstrates great audience engagement in both small and large venues. In addition to regular music venue performances, the band is booked for numerous outdoor festivals and events around the Midwest.
The band is actively pursuing a national/international stage, playing to audiences anxious to hear music that moves them. Beau Baker is a BMI member and managed, promoted, and booked by Douglas Harvey & Associates, playing both solo gigs and with his band.
