Beneath the Arch Presents Sam Baker with Tim Lorsch

(Page 4)

Beneath the Arch Concert Series presents singer-songwriter, Sam Baker, on Saturday, October 23rd at the Flare ‘N Derrick Community Hall in Turner Valley. Baker will be accompanied by Tim Lorsch.
Sam Baker has a knack for overhearing the conversations that go on in other people's heads. Whether he's writing about someone who gets a hankering for the forbidden or a grown man wondering, "What would make a person leave and not come back?" Sam's raspy voice guides as his music soothes – and you find yourself walking in someone else's shoes for a while.
In 1986, Baker nearly died in a passenger train bombing. His friends and fellow travelers were all killed. He says, "I think that whole experience made my writing much more empathetic toward people. You see quite a bit after weeks when you can't move, near death. It makes you reflective."
Sam Baker's music has been described as life-affirming and haunting. A modern bard and traveling songwriter who tours constantly, Sam Baker is sure to be in fine form accompanied by producer / multi-instrumentalist Tim Lorsch.
Doors open at 7:00pm and the music starts at 7:30. Rush tickets are $25 (adults) or $10 (students from 6-12 years), available from Coyote Moon (Turner Valley), Bluerock Gallery (Black Diamond), Harvest Moon Health Foods (Okotoks) and Millarville General Store.
