bakerfield offer an eclectic mix of songs and stories as they invite you to join them on their musical journey.
With their own versions of songs from Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Gillian Welch and many others interspersed with self-penned songs covering topics from the sublime to the ridiculous, you can expect to be laughing one minute, and crying the next.
Guitar, Double Bass, Mandolin, Harmonica, Ukelele and Banjo all make an appearance and support strong lead vocals and instinctive harmonies.
“We’ve had our lives changed by this music, we just thought it was time we started to give something back”, they say. Come along and help them to do so; in the words of their song, “Boy in the Bubble”, “That could be someone’s life you’re listening to, it just might be yours too…….”
THE WILLIAM BAKERFIELD BAND
Loraine Baker, Pete Wakefield, Stu and Jo Williams formed The William Bakerfield Band in 2022.
Pete and Loraine have performed as the duo, ‘Bakerfield’ for many years whilst Stu and Loraine have played in bands together for longer than they care to remember!
Jo and Stu had only ever played in their kitchen so, they are now enjoying performing together on stage.
The band have earned rave reviews for their musical virtuosity, stunning 3-part harmonies and natural stage presence, all combining to create a journey performing their favourite Americana/Country/Bluegrass songs interspersed with songs written by Pete to be enjoyed by any audience!
Pete, Loraine and Jo provide all the vocals (along with guitar, mandolin, double-bass and fiddle) whilst Stu plays banjo and critiques their harmonies.
After many Sunday afternoons playing, singing and eating biscuits, they look forward to entertaining audiences at venues far and wide!
