Great musician with the ability to play a range of genres. We provided Blake with a wish list for the set list and he was able to play these songs for us. He arrived ahead of time to set up, was cordial and professional, and many guests stated how they appreciated his vocals and vibe. Would hire him again, for sure!

What to expect
You can expect a professional, reliable, and easygoing experience from start to finish. I show up prepared, on time, and ready to deliver exactly what your event or project needs. Whether it’s a solo acoustic set, a full-band show, or studio work, I bring strong musicianship, flexibility, and a positive attitude. My goal is to make your event or recording feel seamless and memorable.
About
Hi, I’m Blake Baldwin, a Los Angeles native, pro-level guitarist, bassist, and singer-songwriter with nearly 20 years of experience. I can perform solo, in a small combo, or with a full band — whatever fits your event best.
My original songs have been featured on HBO, Netflix, FX, and NBC (including shows like Hacks, Mr. Inbetween, and Saturday Night Live), and I’ve worked with a wide range of artists across the LA scene.
I’m available for any and all live performances, local events, recording sessions, and touring. I also love working with singer-songwriters during the writing and demo phase to help develop their artistic vision. In addition to live work, I can record bass and guitar in the studio or remotely.
Whether you want an intimate acoustic vibe, a high-energy set, or studio support, I bring a professional, versatile approach to every project.
Additional booking notes
Technical information will be TBD depending on the gig.
