"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy , the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary rule - the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred . A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.

"Whatever you can do or dream you can begin it. Boldness has genius , power , and magic in it. Begin it now." --Goethe

It wasn't a single, defining moment that led Beverly Baker to pursue a music career. "Music is just something I've always done. My family has always made music. I guess you could say it runs in my blood."

Born in Maple Hill, KS, Beverly Baker spent her childhood surrounded by the grass-roots honky-tonk and pure-Americana gospel that defined the Midwest. Beverly's mom remembers her "[loving] the spotlight from the beginning", often holding "concerts" for her family and the neighborhood children. She would sing at family gatherings, church, just about anywhere you'd let her. Beverly soon added school and community musical theater productions to her repertoire.

Her love of Broadway-style theater took her to Chicago where Beverly's passion for music began to find direction. In addition to studying theater arts and opera, Beverly was introduced to, and captivated by, the blues and jazz that permeated Chicago's nightlife. She continued gaining experience, performing with the District 425 Players and the Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company of Chicago. She was also the popular female half of "The Compliments", a Chicagoland area Top 40 act. In addition, Beverly was the business director and lead alto for the University of Chicago's only Christian acapella group, Make A Joyful Noise (MaJ'N). With MaJ'N, Beverly got her first look at the business side of the music business and had the opportunity to travel across the country performing for audiences from Vegas to Vermont. MaJ'N also gave Beverly her first experience in a recording studio as they recorded their first album "Wadin' in the Water."

It was during those recording sessions, that Beverly's solo career began. Chicago-based producer Keith Uchima encouraged Beverly to get her voice on tape. She worked side by side with Keith to produce her first demo. That demo caught the eye (and ear) of Nashville-based producer Johnny Pierce at Cedar House Productions in the fall of 1998. Beverly teamed up with Pierce and his brother Billy to create her first independent solo album. "Can You Hear Me Now" is an exciting blend of Chicago jazz, blues and rock-and-roll woven throughout a solid foundation of traditional country music to create a sound that is uniquely Beverly Baker.
