17 October 2019 - 0 Comments
Returning home after an extensive tour of Europe, Australia and the UK, national treasure Louis Baker is
happy to announce a select run of South Island shows, bringing the soul of his new record Open to the southern-most reaches of Aotearoa. From November 16-24, Baker will visit five intimate venues from
Takaka to Invercargill where fans can get up-close and personal with one of the New Zealand’s most compelling modern soul singer-songwriters and R&B voices.
Tickets are on sale now from (www.louisbaker.co.nz).
Make sure to book now, as Baker’s recent New Zealand album tour produced two sold-out shows in Auckland and Baker’s hometown, Wellington. Despite playing to a packed room, you could hear a pin drop as the audience held onto every word and melody.
To finish off a stellar year for the celebrated kiwi artist, Baker is nominated for two NZ Music Awards (Best Soul/R&B Artist, Best Maori Artist). The NZ Music Awards take place on November 14th at Auckland’s Spark Arena.

Soulful singer-songwriter Louis Baker is undoubtedly one of the most compelling voices to emerge from New Zealand's fertile musical landscape in recent years.
With a powerhouse voice that's capable of a primal RnB scream or tear-inducing plea, and a talent for writing deeply personal, stirring songs, the Wellington artist has spent the past decade evolving his sound from nuanced acoustic ballads to seductive soul grooves that have taken him the world over.
Baker’s debut album sees the celebrated artist dive into new emotional depths, weaving themes of self-acceptance and human connection into an expansive body of work. Sitting at nine tracks, Open features Baker's playlist-smashing single So Lo which premiered with Pilerats,
Baker’s beloved anthem for his home turf The People, plus the Silver Scroll nominated Black Crow and
more that are yet to be discovered. The #1 charting album currently sits at over 4.5 million Spotify streams with loving accolades floating in from around the world.
