It's here where the world's most important stock exchange and one of the most famous bridges stand. And it is here where an unspeakable tragedy took place and where a rebirth is underway.

Concert | Wyndham Baird, Soulful Folk Singer


"Wyndham Baird’s husky renditions of otherwise unheard-of folk jams carry the same water as his patently eclectic originals. Lifting urban love affairs to the stuff of Gospel, and twisting personal disappointments into universal folk anthems, Baird’s six-string and harmonica playing will make it so you won’t have to choose between the Leonard Cohen or Bob Dylan of your parents’ age. This old soul’s found room for both these giants throughout his seven-song self-titled debut." — Mike Levine, Deli Magazine
