The name says it all. Lennie Baker and BlueSoul explores everything from old school blues artist Elmore James to the smooth soulful songs of Otis Redding. Lennie, backed by drummer Doyle Speer, bassist Richard Johnson, guitarist Spencer Wilson and Steve Bell on the woodwinds, bring tremendous energy, excellent musicianship and veteran poise to the stage every time they perform. Between them, they have toured and played with a wide array of artists. The long list includes B.B. King, the Temptations, Leon Russell, J.J. Cale, the Tower of Power, Tanya Tucker, Roy Clark, Glen Campbell and many more.

Lennie Baker began performing professionally at the age of 18, having developed his skills in church and school choirs. He has been entertaining for nearly 50 years throughout the Southwest. He has also performed in Hawaii, Cancun, Eureka Springs, Branson, and many other resort areas.

Lennie recorded his first record in 1964. The single, "I Still Love You" was the main song, however, the flip side, "Leaving You" was just as popular. It took several months to write and perfect "I Still Love You". Having no experience in recording, Lennie did not even think of a flip side until a few miles from the studio. While recording the first song, Lennie wrote the song "Leaving You".

For 16 years, Lennie performed throughout the five-state area with the local band "Ronnie and The Miracles", a soul band with a tremendous following. With the emergence of disco and DJ's, the band dissolved.

Since 1984 Lennie has worked as a solo act and front man for local fan favorite "The Gigsters." His repertoire includes a wide selection of blues, rock and roll, country, and ballads. He is extremely versatile in the interpretation of different styles of music. He has a unique gift of appealing to music lovers of all ages. His favorite music is the 60's, 70's and 80's. However, his repertoire goes back to such songs as St. Louis Blues, Sunny Side of The Street and other oldies. He can bring the crowd to their feet when belting out tunes such as "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag", "Every Time I Roll the Dice", or "Hold On, I'm Coming". He can then easily shift the mood with a romantic rendition of "When A Man Loves A Woman". His love for entertaining is quite obvious as he pours his heart, energy and soul into every song.

Doyle Speer, a veteran of the Oklahoma music scene brings his percussion and vocal skills to the group. He has been performing professionally since the age of 15. You can find him performing several times a week with his band Hell or High Water at the Osage Casino in Bartlesville.

Richard Johnson, originally from Southeast Texas was raised by parents that were professional musicians and educators. His early influences were from the Big Band and Jazz era such as Count Basie, Les Brown and Glenn Miller. In addition to Jazz, he soaked up the flavor of Cajun, Southern Rock and Soulful Delta Blue. Richard moved to Oklahoma in the late 70's after completing studies in Jazz and Classical music on upright bass and trombone. He has spent his professional career working throughout the country honing his talent and locking in the groove with his solid bass lines. Working with many national acts with his company Johnson Lighting & Production, Richard has established himself as the 'bassman' in demand.
