Biography
Cookie Baker grew up on a farm by the seaside. She can be spotted gallivanting around the fair city of Adelaide, South Australia, and consistently throughout the countryside. She also has a talent for hiding and is a sucker for adventure. The warm melodies, cool wordsmithery and a sugar-velvet voice that Cookie pulls from thin air and wraps in her whimsical guitar ‘n’ piano licks create a potent faux-folk pop-cabaret sensation that these experiences and environments only serve to benefit. 'Clever, sophisticated, laid-back, personal and inspiring' - Rip It Up
An effervescent yet relaxed and personable performer and an introspective songwriter, Cookie Baker has shared stages with Augie March, Little Birdy, Ben Lee, Kate Miller-Heidke, Old Man River and The Audreys. A penchant for creating innovative new concepts in live performance (extending through her ever-evolving 6-piece live ensemble, her Special Secret Spells) and being a huge supporter of our local live scene saw Miss Cookie sell out her 2008 Adelaide Fringe show ‘Dark Horse in an Ivory Veil’ (which received a Fringe Award nomination for Best Music), its subsequent encore performances of the same name and her 2009 Adelaide Fringe showcase. A proposal from the Adelaide Festival Centre to produce and present her own theatrical music production resulted in 'How to Draw Portraits' - a visually stunning interrpretation of Cookie's music featuring vintage-inspired costuming and edgy illustration which proved immensely popular in Adelaide. 'A prodigious talent' - The Advertiser
Cookie Baker produced and released her debut album Gala Day late 2008. 'A piquant, poignant and evocative release' - Peter Goers, ABC Adelaide
