New CD Coming From Jessie Baker



Jessie Baker Puts Finishing Touches On Solo Project


Jessie Baker, banjo prodigy for Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, is working on his first solo project. The yet-to-be titled CD is an all instrumental effort that features Jessie on banjo, Dudley Connell on guitar, David McLaughlin on mandolin and fellow band-mates Michael Cleveland on fiddle and Marshall Wilborn on bass.We recently caught up with Dudley Connell who had this to say about working with Jessie on this project:"Playing rhythm guitar under Jessie Baker’s right-hand banjo roll brings to mind three words…. three words? Yes, three words. Duck and cover! Jessie’s note choices and sheer driving banjo style is uncompromising and takes no prisoners. So buy this CD, crank up the volume, then duck and cover. It’s an awesome experience."Jessie's CD will be released later this year on Patuxent Music.
