Kelli Baker: The Phoenix of Modern Blues live at Heidi's Jazz Club

“Killer, all-out big voice with tons of soulfulness and edge emerges, and you won’t be the same after hearing it. Baker is the artist to watch.”

— Rock and Blues Muse

“Baker has something to say, and she is not about to whisper it.”— Blues on Repeat

Album of the Month - MOTHER- November 2026, IBBA 

Blending rock, soul, blues, funk, and Americana into a sound that's entirely her own, Baker has shared stages with ZZ Top, George Thorogood, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, Mike Zito, Samantha Fish, and Ally Venable.

Baker's debut album, MOTHER, releases 11/13/26 on Gulf Coast Records. Produced by Zach Allen for Gulf Coast Records, MOTHER is the album Baker has been writing toward for years. As Baker puts it, "There's no control, really. It comes to me as something that has to be said."

Acclaimed keyboardist Peter Levin, whose credits include Gregg Allman, Bonnie Raitt, The Highwomen, and Dolly Parton, plays throughout MOTHER, becoming an integral part of the record's sound. GRAMMY-winning blues icon Keb' Mo' joins Baker on "American Running," while "Hymn" features the legendary McCrary Sisters, whose unmistakable gospel harmonies have graced recordings with Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Stevie Wonder, and Isaac Hayes.
