KaitlynBakerThere’s something very special about mountain soul. It’s not a geographical spot on a map; it’s a state of the heart. And it’s at the core of Kaitlyn Baker’s music. A proud native of Pound, Virginia, the young artist’s sound is an intriguing reflection of her small town roots infused with a youthful edge that places Baker in a league all her own.

Baker made her first public appearance in church when she was just seven years old singing “Down to the River to Pray.” The talented youngster soon became a popular regional artist, winning talent competitions and recording three independent albums before she turned 13.
