Abstract

Portland's Kurt Baker featured in the Boston Herald Arts Section (The Edge), following the release of his album, After Party.

Author Jed Gottlieb wrote:

"Over the past few years, Baker has focused on recording with his Spanish backing band — he fell right into Madrid's power pop, punk and pub rock scene after doing an acoustic tour of the country in 2014. But for “After Party,” he reunited with many of his old Portland buddies, including Funderburk, guitarist Geoff Palmer and bassist Kris Rodgers.
Writing with Funderburk in Maine last summer, Baker came up with a set of songs that play out like a long, wild night on the town, complete with lounge numbers and retro rave ups."
