Sacramento singer-songwriters Sherman Baker (Seventeenth Street) and Autumn Sky ( The Hallelujah Chorus) celebrate the release of their new albums on June 2nd at Beatnik Studios with very special guest Ricky Berger!
Baker first turned ears five years ago with “Dreamers”, a five-song EP released in 2007. At the time, critics welcomed him as “a leading singer-songwriter,” raving about his “delicate yet somber voice” (Sacramento Bee) and his “magnetic and Dylanic” sense of melody (Sacramento News & Review). However promising, this debut was followed by a long silence. Finally putting an end to this hiatus, Baker is back with “Seventeenth Street”, a fully matured, full-length album. Produced and engineered by Robert Cheek (Deftones, Tera Melos), the album also features guest appearances by Matt McCord (Cake), Kris Anaya (An Angle, Doombird) and pedal-steel legend Bruce Kaphan (who scored innumerable feature films, including Masked and Anonymous, with Bob Dylan, Jeff Bridges and many more).
Seventeenth Street is available for review right now at http://shermanbaker.bandcamp.com/
Autumn Sky is an indie-pop singer/songwriter from Sacramento, CA. At twenty-three years old, she has been playing to the crowds of Sacramento for nearly six years and garnered much local acclaim for her lively and engaging shows, as well as her debut EP and album, Diminutive, Petite EP (2007) and All Which Isn't Singing (2008.)
An indie darling in her hometown, her dynamic shows have gathered an intensely loyal following and much local acclaim, such as, "the perennially kindhearted artist is on the brink of breaking through with her syrupy ballads, poppy rockers and seasoned showmanship. Every city needs an indie-darling chanteuse with a bright future, and Sky’s horizon is vast."- Cosmo Garvin, Sacramento News and Review's "100 Most Interesting/Influencial People" list.
