Main stage
Ms. Baker is distinguished by her powerful soul/blues voice, which has been described as having the vocal beauty of Joni Mitchell, the soul of Joss Stone, but with the bite Janis Joplin. As the winner of ‘Best Live Act’ at the 2007 Musicoz Awards and with a unique heart-felt style of blues, Soul and Rock that she blends into real music, touching on real issues, Amanda is the woman to watch in 2009 and beyond. Digifestival Jury Member, Roli Mosimann (Producer of Faith No More, Smashing Pumpkins) said, “Amanda Baker impressed me most with her abilities and rare talent of transporting the emotional content of her music straight to the heart, without filters or distractions. She is not just singing a great song about a difficult subject, she is telling a story and lets you feel and participate in what it all means to her in a way only great musicians can do. Beware! A truly addictive voice.”
