A master of hooks and melody, Kurt Baker's music embodies a feel-good spirit wrapped in a punk rock sheen inspired by music of decades past. The Kurt Baker Combo will release In Orbit on October 28 via Wicked Cool Records.
The album's first single, "Baby's Gone Bad" is out now and has already been featured by Steven Van Zandt (The E Street Band) as "The Coolest Song In The World" on his nationally syndicated radio program and Sirius XM channel, Little Steven's Underground Garage. Hear / Download / Share "Baby's Gone Bad" at Soundcloud | Spotify | iTunes | Apple Music After releasing several records with The Leftovers, the Maine native struck out solo and released three full-length albums, along with a prolific output of B-sides and covers, touring with the likes of The Offspring and Tommy Stinson. He soon caught the attention of noted tastemaker Steven Van Zandt, guitarist in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, radio host of Little Steven's Underground Garage, and proprietor of Wicked Cool Records--not to mention Silvio on The Sopranos. In Orbit is Baker's fourth full-length album and first effort recorded with his Spain-based band Kurt Baker Combo. It's also the initial new release in Wicked Cool's new partnership with The Orchard. The fearsome four-piece group has been touring like madmen all throughout Kurt's new adopted home country, Spain.Videos
