// Tim Baker
Tim Baker rose to notoriety as the writer and frontman of acclaimed Newfoundland band, Hey Rosetta!. The Juno-nominated singer is best known for his intimate, poetic lyrics and powerful live vocal delivery, which garnered Hey Rosetta! multiple awards along with their numerous sold-out tours. After graduating from the Creative Writing program at Montreals Concordia University in 2005, the St. Johns native returned home and began singing newly penned songs solo, until realizing that this music needed more texture than just piano and acoustic guitar. Newfoundland is known for its great musical exports, but from the beginning, Hey Rosetta! was different. They were a band that connected in an almost intangible, inexplicable way. Tims haunting and distinctive voice defined the band as one of the most poetic Canadian exports; the rolling indie-rock precision meeting hooky pop sensibilities, off-set by the delicate touch of cello, violin, and french horn, which cut through the most cramped club or across any vast open air festival stage.
This special performance during Piano Fest will be Bakers first solo performance in Toronto since the announcement of Hey Rosetta!s hiatus in late 2017. He will perform selections of new songs produced with Marcus Paquin. The new work represents Tim at his core - a wonderfully imaginative songwriter, a thoughtful poet, and a technically profound musician.
Tim will release a sure-to-be anticipated solo album some time in 2018.
