Kurt Baker is touring in support of his new album Rock ‘N’ Roll Club, out now on Wicked Cool Records. “Kurt Baker, one of our era’s foremost proponents of power pop and keeper of the flame, returns with his latest album chock full of rock and roll goodness. The music is essential listening for all fans of power pop and rock,” said Jersey Beat.
