Few musicians are fortunate enough to be able to make a living playing the harmonica. Even fewer have likely played such an influential role in the development of their instrument as Steve Baker has over the past four decades. He has influenced a generation of younger players and is now considered both one of the innovators of this instrument in Europe and one of its leading exponents worldwide.
Born and raised in London, he has been playing professionally since 1975 and has lived near Hamburg for many years. Characterized by sophisticated and rhythmically driven melodies, his instantly recognizable style demonstrates a fundamental musicality that combines elements from the blues tradition with country, folk, funk, soul, and jazz to create a unique and soulful blend. "I want my music to touch the hearts of my listeners."
