The band performed live on the 2017 Canadian Music Association Awards and were nominated for 5 awards for Single, Album, Rising Star, Video and group.ASJamesBarkerBand2024JunoinnersCountryGroup.jpg

The band comprises of: James Baker, Taylor Abram, Bobby Martin and Connor Stephen. As winners of the 2015 Boots and Hearts emerging artist showcase, they were awarded a release with Universal Music Canada and an all-inclusive trip to Nashville, Tennessee. The band opened for Thomas Rhett on the Boots and Hearts main stage in front of 40,000 of country music's biggest fans and returned to perform the mainstage at the festival in 2016.

They released their debut EP entitled Game On, with 7 songs, and had 3 major single hits, Lawn Chair Lazy, Chills and It's Working. The single, Lawn Chair Lazy became the highest charting debut single ever from a Canadian Artist at Country Radio. The third single, Chills, released on March 3/17 also received a #1 from CMT Chevy Top 20 countdown but also a #1 at Canadian Country Radio, making them the first band to have a number one at radio off a debut album.

The cohesiveness of the EP, Game On, leaves no doubt that James Baker Band knows the land which they stand. On this EP they lay bare questions of love, life, and responsibility-and ask of their fans to be equally uncompromising on this journey.

On Jan 17, 2018 the band are on tour across Canada beginning in Ontario and across the west to Vancouver ending on February 10. All dates are posted on their website, as well as Atlantic Seabreeze website.
