The Kelli Baker Band

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.

Known in some circles as "The Phoenix", Kelli Baker was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. 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 Nashvile--judged by blues icons like Kenny Wayne Shepherd--Kelli is more than a performer; she's a reckoning. Her upcoming tour includes support dates for Grammy-winning guitarist Christone "Kingfish" Ingram and genre-defying Samantha Fish, placing her alongside the most influential names in contemporary blues.

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.

Kelli was featured on the esteemed WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour, a historic and highly respected program filmed at the Lyric Theatre in Lexington, KY, which reaches 2 million listeners weekly.

Kelli has swiftly moved through the ranks of New York's bristling music scene to become a nationally known name and formidable player in the game. She has been featured in Relix Magazine, Guitar Girl Magazine, and countless others.
