Biography: Glen was born in 1974 and raised in Dublin City Centre. Introduced to music at a young age by his father and well-known harmonica player / musician / actor Don Baker. Glen quickly developed a love for playing the harp (Blues Harmonica) writing songs and performing. Glen is a self-thought musician who has been entertaining audiences as a professional singer and harmonica player in various bands since 1993 and has spent many years in Ireland and abroad singing and playing the harmonica in venues, clubs and pubs.

In 2001 Glen attended Ballyfermot Senior College (the rock school) for two years to develop his song writing skills and musical ability’s. Since then Glen has been working hard gigging around Dublin and Ireland. Glen has also had the pleasure of playing harmonica alongside David Gray in the Olympia Theatre Dublin, played support for Damien Rice and played harmonica on the Aslan’s Platinum Collection album.

In March 2007 Glen started to record his original material that he had been working on for some time for his debut album called My Blood. It was recorded mainly in The Nutshed residential studio Offaly and Westland Studios Dublin. Mastered in Fluid mastering Hammersmith London.

Glen Baker Album My Blood Review by www.balconytv.ie Monday, October 20th, 2008.

Glen Baker’s eleven-track debut is a labour of love. It’s probably not easy being a musician when you’re the son of the great Don Baker. It must be even harder to carve your own path when harmonica is your weapon of choice. Even a minor slip of the tongue, excuse the pun, could result in cries of “Heresy!” from angry fans of his famous father. It’s lucky then, for Glen that he can play harmonica with the best of them. ‘My Blood’, the album under the microscope, is a meaty slice of modern blues. Glen busts out the harmonica on the first track, ‘Rainbows’ and shatters any fears that he might be about to put the harm on your eardrums. That was my last pun, I promise. ‘Blinded By Society’ sounds almost like London post-punk outfit The The, with an infectious acoustic guitar lick and electronic pulse throughout the verses. Glen’s emotional vocal also brings to mind Matt Johnson’s opinionated grunting on The The’s 1989 magnum opus, ‘Mind Bomb’. ‘My Blood’ is a soulful plea to a brother on the brink. A wailing, heartbreaking backing vocal by Noreen Rabbit pushes an already great song through the stratosphere. If Mr. Baker is attempting to emulate modern Motown, he nailed it. Songs like this deserve to be in the charts. The rest of the album is equally impressive. ‘Sweet Melody’ is a carefree number with a most definitely danceable tempo. ‘Sell Your Soul’ brings to mind the simplicity of Gomez or Beta Band but still maintains Glen’s signature blues sound. If you have any interest in supporting Irish music, you would be doing it a great service by logging on to cdbaby and buying this album. If you have even a passing interest in modern blues or soul, give Glen baker a listen. If you enjoyed this review, you are probably already a fan of Glen Baker. If not, you will be once you’ve heard him. - THE LANDLORD
