"Andy Baker’s warm style and energetic passionate music has been making a splash in Anchorage, where he recently was invited to perform for over 3,000 people on the Anchorage Park Strip for a city-based non-profit fundraiser. Expect to see Andy this summer touring around Alaska and in Homer at KBBI’s Concert On The Lawn to benefit public radio"........ Asia Freeman, Bunnell St Gallery, Homer, Alaska

"Andy Baker and his roving style of acoustic rock ventured to Nome for the first time during Iditarod week 2002. To an attentive crowd, Andy proved that music and story telling best go hand in hand. Andy was at ease performing his original music which covered everything from stories of African travel to old girlfriends and hometowns. He proved a solid guitarist, his voice was comfortable, all in all, a good show of music" .................Beth Marino, Nome Nugget, Nome, Alaska.

| "Anchorage based acoustic rock musician Andy Baker performed amid other talented local artists at Java Joe's in Ocean Beach on Saturday February 16, 2002. Andy stepped off the stage with a powerful delivery of his songs Broken Bottles, Hole In Your Heart and Man of Color. His voice was edgy and engaging, and each melody sounded unique from the previous. Andy’s song Queenstown was well received, a song about making good friends and traveling out of the cold darkness of Alaska in winter. Andy shares his love of travel and adventure in his songs and takes listeners on a journey with him"............. MaryAnn Kenison, Java Joe’s, San Diego, California |

| Here Are Some More Reviews From My Music Journey, Summer 2002 Tour Of Alaska: |

"Singer–songwriter Andy Baker performed a solo acoustic guitar show for the benefit of the Seldovia Arts Council Saturday, July 27. His voice came through beautifully as he traveled down the melody road following a self-guided guitar journey that has taken him from childhood favorites to sophisticated compositions of his own making. In his performance, he told of his life’s adventures, telling its stories and singing its songs, creating vignettes of his travels around the United States, Africa, and New Zealand. He tied the familiar, with the new into an extremely pleasant and entertaining evening. Andy just keeps on growing as a musician and that is great for us, the humble appreciating listeners!!"..........Susan Mumma, Seldovia Arts Council, Seldovia, Alaska

| "On Saturday, August 10th, I was in the audience of a different kind of musician.......Andy Baker performed at Title Wave Books on a stage in the middle of the store. He sparked up a conversation with anyone nearby as easily as he told stories about his life. He introduced one of his own songs "Outside Of Town" written when he was a safari guide in the African bush in 1997. Plenty of folks were around as he introduced another original tune........during Andy's set, he told the crowd that he met singer/songwriter Naomi Harris at the recent Kodiak Music Festival and asked her to come open his show" .........................................................................Crystal Hutchens, Anchorage Press |
