Doug Baker at Zimmerman Vineyards

Songwriter Doug Baker has been a fixture in the Greensboro music scene for forty years. He released his first solo recording, Navigating Life, in late 2021.

Baker has been involved in varied musical projects ranging from the power-pop of Treva Spontaine and the Grafics to the avant-garde improvisations of the F-Art Ensemble to a stint playing old-time music with the Zinc Kings. 

Baker says, “I’ve always written songs, but in bands I was usually content to play guitar and contribute a song here and there. Sort of a George Harrison approach. I’ve written a lot in the last five years, so it seemed it was about time I did this”

Baker plays most of the instruments on the album, with contributions from percussionist Zach Baker and vocalist Barry Gray.
