Kurt Baker is a singer, songwriter and rock n roll performer from Portland, Maine who has always gone by the famous saying Have a Good Time All the Time. He is a founding member of the notable pop/punk outfit the Leftovers, who formed in 2002 and released many acclaimed records and toured all over North America and Europe. Kurt Bakers signature unique blend of ultra catchy Beach Boys/Beatles styled melodies under a relentless wall of high energy guitars and pounding rhythms have earned him the praise of Larry Livermore (founder of Lookout Records), Ben Weasel (Screeching Weasel) and Jaret Reddick (Bowling For Soup).
Kurt emerged as a solo artist with a labor of love solo EP, Got It Covered, (2010 Oglio Records). Produced by Los Angeles based pop genius, Linus of Hollywood, Got It Covered featured Bakers take on some of his favorite Power Pop songs of the 70s and 80s and featured guest appearances from Kay Hanley (Letters To Cleo) and Adam Marcello (Katy Perry). Kurts love of these classic songs all had one thing in common- a key sense of melody.. and melody has always been the most important aspect of music to me. If you have a catchy hook in your song, you can do no wrong. Ive always strived to write music that is catchy and fun.. that will be stuck in your head for hours after listening
After a successful solo-tour of Europe in the fall of 2010, backed by Italys best Power Pop band, The Radio Days, Baker focused on taking his solo act back to the USA. A brief stint of shows throughout the Midwest brought together a group of musicians featuring Mike Bryne (the Methadones), Wyatt Funderburk (Second Saturday), Geoff Useless (the Guts) & Craig Sala (Planeside), to make up the Kurt Baker Band.
