The Baker’s Basement
Two-piece, Cleveland based adventure-folk band the Baker’s Basement (tBB) features the eclectic musical stylings of vocalist/drummer Kate Dedinsky and vocalist/guitarist Adam Grindler. At their rhythmic core pulses an orange striped, homemade, bucket-drum concoction, the funky back beat on which Dedinsky performs standing up with her signature swagger and sway. The duo’s intimate sound, rooted in a spirited and poignant flavor of indie-folk music and topped with playful vocal layers, offers a heart-wrenching yet at times humorous sonic signature that’s altogether their own. Always active live and in studio, tBB released a full length album in November of 2024 titled “Down Down Domino” followed by two 2025 singles: “Singing to the Plants” and “Come To Terms with Going Ghost” (released Nov 20, 2025). TBB is kicking off their 2026 live schedule with a Mid-Atlantic tour in line with their next single release entitled “Worry Now” – the first of several singles due to release in 2026.
