Kurt Baker From The Leftovers Embarks On Solo Career Debuts First Single 'Don't Steal My Heart Away'

Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ Oglio) Portland Maine's Kurt Baker from The Leftovers embarks on a new solo career with his first original material since the release of his group's Crappy Records/Oglio debut, "Eager To Please". Kurt's new track "Don't Steal My Heart Away" is available now at all digital retailers as well as special fans only versions at his Facebook and Wordpress pages. This is the first single from his upcoming solo album of all new material, due later in 2011 on Crappy Records/Oglio Records, a Fontana/Universal distributed label.

"'Don't Steal My Heart Away' could have been a The Leftovers tune, but playing it with a whole set of musicians in the Goodnight Process, a band I briefly moonlighted with in the Spring of 2010, really shaped how the song would eventually turn out. I dug this tune so much, and the audience reception to it was always great whenever we played it live, I knew this was one of the first tunes I wanted to record for my upcoming solo album." Kurt Baker, Portland Maine

The new single was produced by John Wyman (also produced The Leftovers first ever release) at Portland's legendary The Halo studio and features Geoff Useless, Craig Sala, Kris "Fingers" Rodgers, Josh Malia and a killer lead guitar solo that channels The Shirelles "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", thanks to guitar monster Miek Rodrigue.

"Don't Steal My Heart Away" is the follow up release to Kurt's cover of The Nerves "Hanging On The Telephone" from his Got It Covered EP, a side venture in fun 80's power pop influences. "Hanging On The Telephone" is available as a seven inch vinyl 45. Catch the new Kurt Baker Band at the Paul Collins presents Power-Pop-A-Licious Fest at Asbury Lanes, Asbury Park NY beginning on April 30, 2011.
