I’ve been around a bit… Started in the music industry in 1978. First thing, CBS hired me and put me on a plane to Los Angeles where I spent seven days and seven nights partying with the big boys listening to almost every A-listed talent Columbia and Epic had on their roster. I’ve been shaped by these experiences and by my love of the Beatles and Todd Rundgren. I think you can hear those inf

Wendy Lee - CandleStyx
When do you leave join the candlesticks in 2010 to an introduction by good friend Michael Wachner. Wendy‘s talents are incomparable. Her Janis Joplin piece of my heart is a knockout! She loves the music of Brenda Lee and jokes sometimes she is Brenda’s granddaughter with no apologies!

Coming of Age03:39
Hello friends,
Kiss me great pleasure to thank you for all the likes and the plays that has brought my latest single “Coming of Age” to number one position on number one music. I am currently working on a new single called “Alone”. It was written long before the lockdown and really isn’t about the lockdown. It’s about that feeling of trying to find love. It is semi auto biographical as most writings are from the perspective of the writer. I always felt like an outsider growing up trying to find love in the wrong places. And that’s what this song is about.
Recently I watched an old friend Todd Rundgren performance for the “Nearly Human” tour and realized it was a master class on groove-Ology. So I was sure that I needed to make “Alone” propagate a groove that is an intentionally a hook and heavily listenable. Stay tuned to hear it debut on number one music.
With gratitude,
Butch r Baker

Bio
I’ve been around a bit… Started in the music industry in 1978. First thing, CBS hired me and put me on a plane to Los Angeles where I spent seven days and seven nights partying with the big boys listening to almost every A-listed talent Columbia and Epic had on their roster. I’ve been shaped by these experiences and by my love of the Beatles and Todd Rundgren. I think you can hear those influences in my music. I grew up in a musical household where my mother was constantly writing her own music and involving me in the production. I hope to record some of her stuff soon! My music takes some time to pull together. I’m not supporting myself by music yet, I still have a job that takes a weeks worth of time away from the studio. I’ve got about 20 songs to lay down this year and produce an album. Butch R Baker is a performer as name and not to be connected or confused with Butcher Baker! ‘Cause all of the Google searches that bring me up along side a serial killer and I think it’s important to differentiate from that.
Butch R Baker has many projects running simultaneously. The CandleStyx, New Revival of Present Days, The Wailing Sailor Show, the Dukes of Stardust, and much more....
