nicole baker, mezzo soprano

nicole is mostly responsible for the creation of the new vocal extravaganza, retrace our steps. she is great singer, collaborator and supporter (and she brought me other great singers also), i would a poor shlub without her.

so step right up.... singing nightly in the la, but commuting daily to the oc and maintaining a relative level of sanity. NICOLE BAKER
