Duck Baker on Tour
Finger-style guitarist Duck Baker is one of the few solo performers whose background includes almost every aspect of American music, from electric rock to finger-picking acoustic blues, ragtime, bluegrass and swing jazz. He had made five solo records by 1980, and toured and recorded with virtually every significant British guitarist on the scene, including Davey Graham, John Renbourn, Bert Jansch and Stefan Grossman. Baker's reputation has continued to grow in the decades since.
For this special solo tour of Picturehouse Cinemas, Duck Baker presents The Roots and Branches of American Music. Drawing on his widely varied experience and enlivening the presentation with stories and anecdotes, he’ll take you on a scintillating journey through the life of modern American folk music.
