The Historic Palace Theatre is pleased to welcome back a remarkable musical family, The Baker Family. Though this high-energy bluegrass band has won the “Artist of the Year” Award from the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America-Midwest (SPBGMA), The Baker Family thrives in gospel and classic country as well. 

From Birch Tree, Missouri, the Bakers manage to perform around 100 concerts each year, coast to coast. Local audiences may remember this unique family from “America’s Got Talent”, RFD-TV’s “The Bluegrass. Trail “, or PBS’s “Great American Bluegrass.” Their awards are many, including the “Bluegrass Band of the Year” by the International Country Gospel Music Association, and the “Youth in Bluegrass Band Contest” in Branson, Missouri. 

The band includes mom, Carrie Baker, who plays guitar and double bass. 24-year-old Trustin Baker plays violin and banjo, and recently won the Grand Master Fiddle Championship at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville – the most prestigious honor bestowed on a violinist. As a result of that victory, he performed on stage at the Grand Ole Opry. 22-year-old Carina Baker plays the mandolin and harmonica and has been the recipient of both the SPBGMA “Mandolin Player of the Year” and “Female Vocalist of the Year” awards. 20-year-old Elijah Baker plays bass and lead guitar, and is a past winner of the Oklahoma State Junior Violin Championship.
