Kim Baker: Playing Music. Doing Some Good.

By Paul Freeman For The Daily News

For Montara singer-songwriter Kim Baker, her career in music can be measured by how well it serves her community. Fulfillment comes from using her art to help fund worthy organizations. Baker plays Redwood City's Club Fox on Friday, sharing the bill with another very gifted Peninsula performer, Ruth Gerson. The concert is to benefit The St. Francis Center in Redwood City.

"I guess I take after my mom," Baker said. "She's always been involved in something. When I was growing up, she was a volunteer in hospital emergency rooms. When I was in college, she got involved in a Southern California church and, through the church, has done a lot of counseling. This church is globally involved in charitable work." Baker and her mother Carolyn are in the process of setting up their own charitable foundation, Angels of Hope. Baker's plans crystallized when she met Bill Somerville of Philanthropic Ventures Foundation. He's the author of "Grassroots Philanthropy." She appreciated his hands-on approach. "His foundation kind of became a model for me," she said. Somerville took her into the community, visiting several of the places his company helps to fund on the Peninsula. The first was the St. Francis Center. "I was just blown away by this amazing place," Baker said.

"It's this beautiful space that they built from the ground up. There's a classroom on the top. Downstairs they put bags of food together for people in the community. There's a clothing room where people can, once a month, get a bag of clothing. They have 24 units of low-income housing. "It's the most efficiently run thing I've ever seen. Sister Christina (Heltsley), who runs it, is incredible. And there are all of these dedicated volunteers." What Baker saw in the classroom especially impressed her. "The teacher's in the middle of teaching these cute little kids and she suddenly said, 'Oh, look, Bill is here!' They saw him and all knew who he was and shouted, 'Uncle Bill! Uncle Bill!' And they got up and came running towards them with their big smiles. It was a moment I'll never forget. The look on their faces was so much love for this person who had made this center for them. I'm like, 'Man, I've got to do this.'"

In addition to writing and performing music, Baker operates her own label, Earthwater Records. Now she's establishing a charitable foundation. How does she juggle all of these pursuits? "It's really hard, but it's good. I have to be really organized with my time. I have my little Macbook and my iPhone and I just carve out things very carefully. I'll say, these days, during these hours, I'll rehearse. On these days, I'll promote the concert. And so on. I've developed a system now where everything is really structured. I know there's only one of me, but, hopefully, eventually there will be more people involved," she said, laughing.

Her role as community activist feeds Baker's creative side. "The more I think about things outside of myself, the more inspired I am in general, as a human being, and that's reflected in my music. And my music has headed more and more in that direction, instead of being just all about me. "I've written a lot of songs over the years, and when I was putting together the set list for this Club Fox show, I found that I was picking the ones that speak to me about these types of things, like caring about things that are hopeful, inspirational, uplifting, whatever you want to call it. I find myself more pulled towards those songs. And as I'm writing my newer songs, I feel like I'm going more in that direction, as opposed to just relationships and things like that."

Growing up in Southern California, Baker admired artists who reflected social and political awareness. "The biggest influence, when I first got into music, was The Indigo Girls. I saw one of their videos and their approach was unique, different from any other video I had seen. I went to the library and looked them up and there was all this stuff about how interested they were in the world and the community and peace and activism. And it just got me. It really spoke to me. I was maybe 15."
She earned a music degree at Oakland's Mills College. She interned at Polygram, learning the nuts and bolts of the industry, prior to founding her own label. As a performer, she has built a loyal fan base.

Baker is well into the process of recording an album, a follow-up to her outstanding collection of folk-rock songs, "Field of Plenty." The new one will be more piano-oriented, rather than guitar-driven. She says the music will have a softer quality to it. She hopes to have it in release in time for summer and fall regional tours.

"Being able to use music to have a positive impact on the community, for me, that's an incredible source of joy."

Kim Baker ~ July 2010 Newsletter

Wed, 14 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Greetings everyone!

LILITH FAIR UPDATE:

First and foremost, I want to thank all of you for your support surrounding the Lilith Fair voting process last month. There were close to 600 artists competing for one spot in our region, and although I didn't make it to the very top of the list, I am deeply grateful that I rose so far up in the ranking throughout the voting process. I SO appreciated all of your support! By the way, if there is anyone out there who voted and didn't receive their free download of my song "Rapture," please let me know immediately so that I can make sure it gets out to you. We received a ton of emails and I want to make sure that no one was missed in the process.

LITTLE FOX THEATER RE-OPENING THIS MONTH:

I am very excited about the Little Fox Theater reopening at the end of this month. It looks like it is going to be re-named "Club Fox." I went by there personally a few days ago, and they were completely re-doing the inside. They were painting the walls and rebuilding the stage from scratch. It was exciting to see all of that activity going on after months of it being closed, and wondering whether or not if it would ever re-open again. In any case, I am SO looking forward to playing there again with my band once it is all done!! I will keep you posted as things progress.

BRAND NEW SONGS:

Since I haven't been performing live as much recently, I have been writing and fine-tuning a lot of new songs. Right now I have six new songs that I am working on, as well as the ten I have already recorded for the Waterfall CD (most of which have not been released to you all yet). I'd like to pick the top 12 songs (out of those 16) for the finalized CD. I am thinking about posting some live "living room" performances of the different songs via YouTube. It would be great to get your feedback about which songs should make the cut on the final CD.

LOCAL 'WOMEN WHO ROCK' CONCERT:

Right now I am also working on putting together a live concert with some of my other female artist friends. I thought it would be fun to do our own Local Lilith Fair type of concert, and in the process, raise some money for a worthy cause (via the new non-profit organization I have been working on these past months). If you're interested in participating in, or helping to promote this event, please send a note to: info@kimbaker.com. Would love to have you involved!

FACEBOOK MUSIC PAGE:

If you are on Facebook, please hook up with me, so that we can stay in touch on-line. I have mostly been using Facebook these days in order to stay in touch with friends and fans (rather than MySpace, ReverbNation or Twitter). It seems to be the easiest way for me to stay connected with y'all. :) Thank you again for all of your continued support!!

BAY AREA BENEFIT CONCERT:

I am currently planning another large benefit concert, this time in downtown San Francisco, for later this year. The proceeds of the concert will benefit the St. Francis Center in Redwood City, CA. I went to visit their facility recently and was completely blown away by all of the wonderful services which they offer the community. You can read more about them in detail at: http://www.stfrancisrwc.org

I hope that you all enjoy the new Wicked Game download! Please stay tuned for further details about the Lilith Fair tour and the benefit concert for St. Francis Center in San Francisco, which I am passionately working on in conjunction with my new foundation.

Kim Baker ~ December 2009 Newsletter

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Hello, everyone!

I hope that this note finds you well and enjoying the holiday season! I for one procrastinated on my shopping until the very last minute and decided to do it all in one day! :) Can anyone out there relate to that feeling!? In honor of the holiday season, this month I have chosen to digitally release my song "YOU BRING ME PEACE." Someone very dear to my heart reminded me about this song last week and I decided that it would be a perfect choice for my December release. You can check it out on iTunes at the following link. It is song #14.

http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/field-of-plenty/id260643007

I wrote this song a few years back after I had been robbed of most of my musical equipment. I was very upset about the situation and was having a hard time letting go of my hurt, until one morning when I felt covered with a sense of peace. It was right after I had been praying and meditating about what had just happened. I immediately picked up my guitar and wrote this song, and every time after that, when I felt myself becoming anxious about losing my favorite guitar, or other equipment, I would play this song and remember what was truly important ~ the peace which exists within all of our hearts at all times. We just have to become still enough to feel it. I am grateful now that I had that experience, and I hope that this song brings you a sense of peace during this holiday season.

YOU BRING ME PEACE
Words and music by Kim Baker
http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/field-of-plenty/id260643007

You bring me flowers, simplicity
You bring me an endless, sense of peace
You bring me passion, and poetry
You bring me closer, to who I'm supposed to be

So pull me close
Feel me breath
Hold my tears
And bring me peace

I bring you laughter, serenity
I bring you quiet thoughts, and restless sleep
I bring this love, I bring this release
And quiet words, that only you can see

So pull me close
Feel me breath
Hold my tears
Bring me peace

You bring me peace
You bring me peace
Bring us peace...

Kim Baker ~ November 2009 Newsletter (Song Release: Rapture)

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Hello, everyone,

I hope that this note finds you well. It has been a little while since my last newsletter. I have been quite busy going through, what I would like to call, my very own head-to-toe transformation process. :) Given what has been going on in the world, I am sure that many of you have also been going through your own transformations as well. I would love to hear from you.

In musical news, I have been continuing to work on my CD entitled "Waterfall." The whole process has evolved over the past months, and I have decided to start releasing one song individually each month (via digital download, and as a part of these monthly newsletters). Each month I will tell the story of what inspired that particular song, as well as include a link where you can listen to and download the song (in CD quality format of course)! :)

RAPTURE - November 2009 release
http://kimbaker.argoarts.com/rapture.php

This month's song is entitled "Rapture." This song is particularly close to my heart because it is the first song that I wrote on the piano (rather than the guitar). I was listening to some of Sting's music at the time I wrote this and was thinking about a friend of mine who means a great deal to me. The theme of the song is overcoming the wounds of our past, in order to embrace the beau ty of our present and of our future. I was thinking about my friend and how we had both overcome some very difficult situations in our growing up process, and how rising above those situations has made us both strong and perseverant, as well as a bit overly protective of our hearts too. It has always been my hope that as I grow older, I will be able to open my heart even wider, so that I can fully express all of who I am in this life, and I hope this for my friend, and everyone else, as well. "Rapture" is the place we come to once we have laid down all of our hurts and finally, fully opened our hearts as far as they can go.

I'd like to express my deep gratitude to Sheryl Melbane (drums), Vicky Grossi (violin), Laura Boytz (cello) and Jennifer Daniels (vocals), for lending their wonderful musical talent to this song, as well as to Cookie Marenco for engineering and producing it. You can read the lyrics, listen to a clip of the song, and download it, all by going here: http://kimbaker.argoarts.com/rapture.php

On one final note, please mark your calendars for January 31, 2010 as my band and I will be headlining another show at the Little Fox Theater in Redwood City. We are still ironing out all of the specific details, but I will be sure to keep you posted. We are also planning a joint show with "Blame Sally," another wonderful female centered group based here in the Bay Area. I am really looking forward to that concert as well!

Until next month's newsletter and song release, I hope that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. There are so many things for us to be grateful for this Thanksgiving! I think that my list is about a mile long. If you have a moment, please drop me a line. I would love to hear how you are doing.

All the best,

~Kim

Kim Baker "Waterfall" Single Available as a CD Quality Download

Mon, 04 May 2009 00:00:00 -0700

I am deeply excited to announce the release of my new single "Waterfall." The single is exclusively available on-line as a CD quality digital download at the following location:

http://kimbaker.argoarts.com

You can preview the song there, as well as download it, by clikcing on the "Buy Now" button. You can also read the story behind the song and the lyrics below. Thank you very much for your support! I am so excited to finally be able to share this song with all of you!

âˆž âˆž âˆž

The story behind the song:

I am so thrilled about how well this song was captured in the recording studio. This song means a great deal to me on a personal level. It all started with an incredibly powerful dream that I had one morning out of the blue. I was literally awakened from a deep sleep with a feeling of love and longing which filled my entire body. I woke up with tears in my eyes. It was such a rare and exquisite moment for me. I immediately got up from the bed and stumbled downstairs to the piano to see if I could capture some of what I was feeling on the piano and with my voice. I wrote the song in about an hour, in that half awake, half asleep state, and when I was finished I actually thought that I would never record it because it was so ethereal. I'm so glad that I changed my mind! :) In a larger sense, this song makes me think about how we should all be constantly looking for those moments in our life that are filled with that deep sense of joy and love. There is so much suffering going on in the world right now, and when I listen to this song, I am constantly reminded that there is a force of love that is all around us, all of the time, and that all we need to do is close our eyes, open our hearts and let it all in!

I would personally like to thank Cookie Marenco, my brilliant producer/engineer and friend, for helping me capture this song in the studio. Cookie - I am so proud of the fact that we recorded this completely on analog tape and that I got to use your beautiful Steinway piano in the process! You amaze me! I would also like to thank Jennifer Daniels (my dear friend and fellow singer-songwriter) for lending her beautiful voice to this project as well. Jennifer - I am so deeply grateful for your talent, willingness and friendship! Your vocal parts give me the chills every time I hear them. :) Thank you, thank you, thank you!! And last but not least, a big thanks to all of the additional musicians who contributed to the song: Brain (drums), Vicky Grossi (on bass and viola), and Sheryl Melbane (additional drums). I am so grateful that I am able to share this song with all of you, my dearest friends and supporters. Thank you for listening!

âˆž âˆž âˆž

Waterfall Lyrics:

You came to me
In a dream
Whispering that
You would wait for me
By the waterfall
And then you paused
My heart began to pound
Until it was the only sound
I could hear...

Oh to be near you
Oh to be near you
Oh to be near you
Oh to be near you

And then you said
Will you wait for me?
Oh sweet ecstasy
So strong, so pure
It woke me up like a bolt
And I was sure
It is you who I love
It is you who I love

Oh to be near you
Oh to be near you
Oh to be near you
Oh to be near you

And even though it makes no sense
I will wait for you
By the water's edge
Behind its stream
And there I will kiss you
Feel the water on your skin
And to your every wish, give in
(Oh...your every wish give in)

Oh to be near you
Oh to be near you
Oh to be near you
Oh to be near you

(-Instrumental-)

It is you who I love
It is you who I love
Oh to be near you
Oh to be near you

Live at the Little Fox ~ Waterfall Video

Fri, 20 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Below is a video a fan of mine created from my show at the Little Fox Theater in Redwood City, CA on October 9th. It is my new piano song entitled "Waterfall":

Happy New Year and Thanks!

Fri, 02 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Hello, everyone!

I just wanted to drop you all a quick line and say Happy New Year. I
also wanted to say thanks so much for your support in 2008. It was
such a wonderful year and I deeply appreciate all of you who came out
to the shows, bought CDs, wrote articles about the shows, made
donations to the different benefit organizations, etc..

I am most grateful for the concerts that we did at the Little Fox
Theater in March and October, as well as the show we did at the
Phoenix Hotel in June, all of which benefited various charity
organizations. If you weren't able to make it for some reason, you
can view some of the YouTube videos from those shows at the link
below:

http://www.youtube.com/kimbyfan

Speaking of which, we will be releasing a "Live at the Little Fox"
DVD in March of 2009, so I will be sure to keep you all up to date
about that too. In the meantime, I will be donating 20% of all
on-line CD sales in January and February to Larkin Street Youth
Services. So, if you weren't able to attend the last benefit show,
you can still give to a very worthy cause by following the link below:

http://cdbaby.com/all/kimbaker

Thank you! I also wanted to thank Karen Soo Hoo, Christy Bryce and
Jennifer Daniels again for joining me at those benefit shows. It
meant a lot to me to be able to share those experiences with you guys!
Jennifer was able to stop by the recording studio while she was here
on tour and sang some beautiful background parts on my song
"Waterfall." I am really looking forward to releasing that one as a
single in the very near future.

Also, I wanted to say a special thanks again to Paul Freeman from the
Palo Alto Daily for writing this article below about the Little Fox
show in October, as well as channel 7 news for covering the event on
the 11pm news that night! It meant so much to me that the kids from
Larkin Street Youth Services got so much media attention!

http://www.kimbaker.com/press.html

Again, thank you again for all of your support in 2008. I look
forward to sharing my new "Waterfall" CD with all of you in 2009. I
hope that the coming year if filled with much joy and peace for you,
and all of your loved ones.

All the best,

~Kim

Hello, everyone,

I just wanted to send a quick note of thanks to all of you who

of you who attended and supported the event. I will never, ever
forget sharing that experience with the Larkin Street youth and staff
who came all of the way down from the city that night just to be at
the show. I was fighting off tears of joy at least half a dozen times
on stage. :)

I am especially grateful to Channel 7 news for showing up at the

I hope that you all have been having a wonderful summer! I just wanted to drop you a quick line to tell you about my last concert of the 2008 season. My band and I will be headlining again at the Little Fox Theater on October 9th.

Speaking of which, I'd like to extend my deepest thanks to those of you who came to the "Women Who Rock" benefit concert on June 14th at the Phoenix Hotel. We were able to raise over $20,000 that night for another wonderful homeless organization in the city called the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation.

This will be my last concert for the year because I will be spending the remainder of it recording in the studio, finishing my new CD entitled "Waterfall" (which is due to be released in March of 2009). So, since I won't be performing for awhile, I really hope that you can make this particular show at the Little Fox.
