Erick Baker

Erick Baker is an Emmy Award-winning folk soul singer-songwriter from Knoxville, Tennessee, who has spent nearly two decades turning the poetry of everyday life into soulful Americana songs that feel like your own.

He didn’t pick up a guitar until after college, but what began as a late start quickly grew into something much deeper. Drawn from real life, his songs speak to the joys and struggles that connect us all, blending folk, rock, country, and soul into something distinctly his own.

Known for his powerful vocals, heartfelt songwriting, and live performances that “hit you right in the chest,” he’s shared the stage with artists like John Legend, Brandi Carlile, and Grace Potter, rising from smoky dive bars to iconic stages like Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.

With his upcoming album, Beautiful Life, arriving in early 2027, he takes a defining step forward in both his songwriting and sound, while continuing to make music that helps people feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.
