Jessie Baker "Yessir" (Patuxent Records)

Banjo.com will present a banjo workshop with Jessie Baker at their retail store in Marietta, GA on Thursday, November 19th. Following the workshop there will be a mini-concert from Baker’s cohorts, Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper and a short meet and greet session with the band.

Jessie Baker is currently celebrating the release of his first solo CD project “Yessir” on Patuxent Records. Information on the Patuxent web site claims “Jessie Baker serves up an earful of tasty tunes for the 5-string banjo with Yessir!, his debut all-instrumental project for Patuxent Music. Like water dancing on a hot skillet, Jessie’s notes come popping from this disc in a way that captures the fire of his two banjo heroes, Don Reno and Earl Scruggs. Still in his teens, Jessie has synthesized the playing of these iconic figures into a style all his own, and carrying that traditional sound well into the future is what this album is all about.”
