KCUR
Singer Songwriter Sam Baker performs with Carrie Elkins at KCUR studios.

Sam Baker calls himself “the worst guitarist who ever stood on a public stage.” Yet, the combination of the singer-songwriter's raspy voice and simple guitar melodies "just works," according to Up to Date host Steve Kraske. Baker reflects on his personal journey and performs live at KCUR studios.

Sam Baker will perform at the Folly Theater as part of KCUR's 'Cyprus Avenue Live At The Folly' at 8 p.m. on Friday, November 6. For tickets and information visit follytheater.org

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
