Julien Baker’s Steady Rise From Indie Darling to Time Tested, Blistering Rock Vocalist
Often an independent artist breaks through, tours and then leaves us wanting more. Beaten by the industry machine or burnt out by it all, we often lose the majority of our great indie artists and often those artist are women. Women that look different, sound different and act different than expected.
“I heard someone from the music business saying they are no longer looking for talent, they want people with a certain look and a willingness to cooperate.”
Born and raised outside Memphis, Julien Baker has proven over the years that she’s here to stay. Whether collaborating with Phoebe Bridgers and Luci Dacus to form the power group Boygenius or on stage alone with just a guitar, Baker has taken what she’s wanted from her career and produced a catalog that holds up against any modern-day singer-songwriter, male or female.
Her latest collaboration with TORRES is beautiful combination of indie soul from two lasting and true artists. Listen to her music below, see her progression as an artist from 2022 until now, and enjoy the great music of Julien Baker. She’s touring all Spring and Summer of 2025. Tour dates below.
