Band Website: This will have to do it for now.
Band Members: The band I play with has included a somewhat rotating cast of characters. It depends a little on who's available and who can put up with me. Lately, I've been performing with Josh Tennant, a fine bassist and all-round musician I've known since we were kids, and guitar phenom Brandon Turner. The outrageous Roy Brooks played guitar on a record with me a few years back. I've had the opportunity, as well, to play with drummer Kevin Heuer, guitarist Brad Carr and steel guitarist Mike Bagwell. Nashvillians Peter Cooper (my longtime friend and co-songwriter), Tim Carroll (monster guitarist and wonderful songwriter), and Perry Baggs (drummer from Jason and the Scorchers and genuine hero!) have been kind enough to lend their talents, as well.
Influences: Too many to name, probably, but.....Jason and the Scorchers, Terry Allen, Gerald Duncan and the Accelerators, Robbie Fulks, Matthew Knights, the Silos, Southern Culture on the Skids, Peter Cooper, Vince Mann, Tim Carroll....I sure love Tom Petty and the Beatles and the Ramones and Hank Williams....
Sounds Like: "the texture of wry Southern fiction by someone like Clyde Edgerton or Lewis Nordan..." - THE NEW YORK TIMES; "With enough crunch to make any son of Marshall Tucker proud, Maultsby and his band...come on like a buttoned-down version of the Bottle Rockets..." - THE NASHVILLE SCENE; "Rocker, ma con uno speed country, dalla Carolina del Sud. Da tenere d'occhio, ha dei numeri, ed il suo disco e molto elettrico e pulsante" - BUSCADERO; "Remember the name Baker Maultsby....a wickedly funny attitude that is reminiscent of Robbie Fulks." - CHARLESTON POST AND COURIER; "As for Baker, he was a delight." - GARRISON KEILLOR.
