A wild Canadian mix of blues, ragtime and vintage rootsmusic, with fingerpicking guitar, swinging rhythms! 🎸✨🎻✨
We’re so looking forward to this one! 🤩
We first heard Bokso Baker through our dear Mary Lee, and ever since, their songs have been echoing through Missy Sippy 🎶🔥
Shaped by years of playing on street corners, every set feels alive, like catching a spark in a passing crowd.
Before you know it, you're no longer in Gent, but dancing somewhere down a dusky street in New Orleans! 🎸✨🎻✨
Bosko Baker is a roots musician blending American music — country blues, ragtime, folk, swing — into what he calls “street swing” or “bozo blues.” Drawing inspiration from legends like Doc Watson, Merle Travis, Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Blake, Jimmie Rodgers, and Mississippi John Hurt, his music combines raw energy with timeless tradition.
With a spontaneous stage presence honed from years of busking, Bosko’s shows are where his music truly comes to life — an infectious mix of blues, swing, and folk that speaks to the heart of American roots music. From festival stages to intimate venues, his dynamic blend of storytelling, finger-picking guitar, and a deep respect for tradition makes every show a unique & foot stomping experience that has gained him a loyal following.
