Brandon Baker – One of the Talented Artists for Winter Festival’s Country North Show

Born, and raised in Prince Albert, Brandon Baker has the heart of the prairies flowing through his blood and through his music.

Though this folk artist now calls Edmonton home, his songs and poems take you back to where it all began. With an intimate writing style and an energetic performance, Brandon can easily shift genres from anything from Gypsy Jazz, to Funk/Blues/Rock styles.

After spending time at Grant MacEwan University, he is now a full time musician, eager and anxious to make a name for himself all over the world.

Fiddle styles have always been a part of Brandon's life. Being a relative of the “Master of the Metis Fiddle”, Mr. John Arcand, Brandon's whole world is submersed in the fiddle culture for the summer months as he teaches at camps, attends fiddle contests and events.

Brandon was accepted as a 1st-year student at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, founded by the Estate of John Lennon and Sir Paul McCartney. Brandon's plans are to attend the school in September of 2010 but nothing is finalized yet.
