BIOGRAPHY
Bill Baird began his career as a member of Sound Team until 2006, then started performing solo, first as Sunset and later under his own name. His early self-released albums, including Silence! and {{{ SUNSET }}}, drew attention from outlets like NPR and Paris Transatlantic. After relocating to Oakland, California in 2013, he released Spring Break of the Soul and was named Best Newly Arrived East Bay Musician by East Bay Express; his 2016 album Summer is Gone brought further acclaim and performances on BBC programs. After years moving between the Bay Area, India and Abbey Road, Baird returned to San Antonio, Texas. His new album Life Creates Itself was recorded largely in a single day at Sear Sound in New York and released via Royal Oakie Records, mastered by Kramer and featuring Pedrum Siadatian of Allah-Las and PAINT among its contributors. The record draws on Doug Sahm and Roky Erickson, blending outsider country, avant-garde pop and psychedelic folk into a cohesive songwriter statement.
