Kelli Baker: The Phoenix of Modern Blues
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. 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 Nashville—judged by blues icons like Kenny Wayne Shepherd—Kelli is more than a performer; she’s a reckoning. Her upcoming July 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 Baker isn’t following a path — she’s burning her own into the ground.

Honestly one of the best shows I've seen in a very long time. Kelli's a brilliant performer; Noe is a remarkable player, and the rhythm section (sorry — I don't recall their names) were incredibly tight and high energy. These guys should be playing big venues to sold out audiences everywhere they go.
