about
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 have released many acclaimed records and have toured all over North America and Europe. Kurt Baker’s 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). After the release of the Leftovers “Eager to Please” album on Jaret’s label, Crappy Records, distributed by Oglio Records, which featured guest ranging from Brett Anderson (the Donnas) to Coz Canler (The Romantics), and countless touring which gained Baker and the Leftovers a reputation for putting on a stellar show, Kurt embarked on a solo career. Kurt Baker’s debut solo EP, “Got It Covered”, will be released this summer on Oglio Records, a Fontana/Universal distributed label. Produced by Los Angeles based pop genius, Linus of Hollywood, “Got It Covered” features Baker’s take on some of his favorite Power Pop songs of the 70’s and 80’s and features guest appearances from Kay Hanley (Letters To Cleo) and Adam Marcello (Katy Perry).
