Merrick Arts Council’s second show of the season will feature the Julie Baker Quartet on Sunday, October 29 at 2:00 p.m. This program will take place at the Central City Performing Arts Center, Edwin and Bernice Lock Theatre. The show will feature vocalist Julie Baker and a three-piece combo. Although classically trained, her performances are versatile featuring many styles such as pop, jazz, soul, and rhythm and blues. Audiences describe her voice as angelic, sultry, soulful, crystalline, dazzling, and smooth. Born and raised in Ericson, Nebraska, Baker began singing at an early age, showing a true talent. At the age of 15, she joined her first band, “Cactus Jack and the Sneak Attack.” While still in high school, she was accepted into a high school specifically for students gifted in the arts in Champaign, Illinois which she attended for one year. She graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln majoring in music education. She taught music in public schools, eventually being awarded the Nebraska Educator’s Association “Education in Excellence” award. Today she spends most of her time focusing on her love of performing. Tickets are available at the door for $15 for adults with students being free, and as always, MAC season members are admitted via their membership.
