Hailing from Bellingham, WA, Baby Cakes first performed on New Year's Eve 2014. For the past 11 years they've wowed audiences with live shows throughout the Pacific Northwest at nightclub venues, festivals, weddings and corporate events.
A 9-piece powerhouse of elite musicians, Baby Cakes takes their audiences on a luxurious joyride through the golden age of American Soul, funk, and R&B.
Featuring three part harmony vocals, horn section, and an absolute supercar rhythm section, Baby Cakes brings to life the spirit & emotion of the most popular classic music in history. Performing a catalogue ranging from Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder to Earth, Wind & Fire, Whitney Houston and Amy Winehouse, Baby Cakes is a multi-generational experience that will have you dancing the night away.
In December of 2018 they released their self titled debut album ‘Baby Cakes’ complete with 9 original songs ranging from funk driven pop, to a power ballad and some traditional blues, closing out the album with a haunting cover of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Dreams’.
The vocal section is led by phenom Ella Davis, whose range stretches to incredible heights with prolific power. Penelope Harris and Miles Harris round out the group with electric harmonies and fireworks of their own.
Drummer and manager Kevin Chryst electrifies on the sticks while the joy of the work emanates from his smile.
The rhythm section includes titan of bass Jeff Ballew, superstar guitarist Miles Harris and inimitable keyboardist Blake Angelos
The Cakes' horn section impresses with world class improvisor and saxophonist Thomas Harris. On Trumpet, Jeremiah Austin screams while Matthew Chen provides inspiring work on the alto, tenor and baritone saxophones. Together they are signature to Baby Cakes’ memorable sound.
