Erick Baker is an Emmy Award-winning writer, children’s book author, and heart-on-his-sleeve troubadour from Knoxville, Tennessee, known for his soulful voice, heartfelt songwriting, and captivating live performances.

His unique blend of americana country-soul has racked up over 10 million streams on Spotify and taken him around the world, where he’s shared the stage with notable artists like John Legend, Brandi Carlile, Heart, the Goo Goo Dolls, Daughtry, Grace Potter, Chris Isaak, James Blunt, and Gavin DeGraw.

At the heart of Erick’s music is his soulful voice – “a smoke and whiskey tenor with plenty of range and emotion” that defies comparison. Singing with a rare depth, passion, and sincerity, his songs can be felt as much as they can be heard and draw inspiration from classic songwriters like James Taylor, Tom Petty, and Van Morrison and stand shoulder to shoulder with contemporary songwriters like Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, Ray Lamontagne, and Amos Lee.
