ROEM BAUR - BABY I DON'T NEED YOU
Roem Baur is a San Francisco based singer-songwriter with a "stirring vocal range and a passion for his music" (Nina Ragonese, WMATT) that proves to be worthy of the unusual distinction of his epithet (which came to his young, single mother in a dream shortly before he was born). A classically trained tenor with a four octave range and award-winning singer (MAMA and Elly Awards), Baur has begun to distinguish himself in the San Francisco scene with his unconventional takes on blues, soul and folk music coupled with the wit and energy he brings to his live performances. Baur's song work also draws inspiration from 60's folk music, his early operatic training and years of touring internationally in choirs. Describing what inspires him, he says, "When I listen to great soul singers, like the late Etta James for example, I just listen to her sing a simple line, and there's truth and brokenness, it's internal. There is anger, triumph--everything. There is a complete story happening in every line. That's a lesson for me." As he takes the leap from performing singer-songwriter to a fuller, more realized sound, Baur's band will include organ, tuba, bass trombone, guitar and drums. "The new band is a concept I've had running around my head for years - orchestra meets blues and soul. When the right talents come together and the planets align... you get a chance to do something really special. This sound is hard to explain even to fellow musicians who haven't heard it. It's something you feel."
Originally from California's Central Valley, Roem learned how to build an audience there from humble beginnings. His first gig was playing four hour solo shows for $40/night to indifferent bar crowds, which quickly turned around and he began packing the club to capacity on a regular basis. Building on that success, he went on to play shows over the next few years in the US and abroad (Thailand, Belize, Mexico and Argentina) before settling down in San Francisco, California. In 2011, he locked himself in a 100 year-old church sanctuary with a grand piano, a pawn-shop guitar and The Family Crest string quartet and nine nights later emerged with "The Thief", a cathartic, heart-breaking concept record of love and loss. Most recently, he independently released "Live at Yoshi's San Francisco" a preview of new music in an uncut, one-take, version of his live show.
