PHIL BAKER
ON BAKER STREET

On Baker Street is a musical world filled with recognizable animals, familiar themes and everyday pleasures like climbing trees and skimming stones, digging up the ground for dinosaur bones. The show is the work of award-winning children’s performer and songwriter Phil Baker. Baker draws his themes from a knowledge and love of nature, an interest shared by the children who learn about the world around them from his songs. As an educator with an M.Ed. in curriculum and instruction, Baker uses music in ways that help young minds learn and grow. Baker guides the natural energies of children to create movements and improvisations all their own, singing and dancing together with music, movement, rhythm and sound. The show is appropriate for early childhood, elementary and family audiences in early childhood, school, library or park and recreational program settings or at fairs, festivals and community events. The music has been arranged so that a chamber group, choir or municipal band can accompany Baker.
Technical requirements: The performer provides a sound system. When a house sound system is used instead, the performer requires a wireless microphone, stand with boom, direct box, stage monitor and CD player. The artist can work on stage or on the ground. An accessible stage is preferred.

Fee structure: Performance $900 to $1,400, School assembly $750 to $1,400. SDAC support up to 50%.
