From the boat to the guitar, Dallas Baker embodies the heart and soul of the Lowcountry
By Mark A. Leon
Some of you may know Dallas from his coastal expeditions, while others embrace his passion for music while enjoying a local craft, but to know Dallas and how he has translated his passions into a sense of community is a gift all its own.
When you hear Dallas put you in a good Southern mood while chilling by the bonfire at Smoke & Brew you know this is home. He charismatic style and eclectic mix of music set the mood for a night of good vibes.
I’ve often thought, a Dallas Baker show is a place where friends come together, and worries are left behind.
The music is where it stops for most of us; yet there is so much more to this ambassador of the Lowcountry. Dallas has collaborated and promoted more musicians than most of us knew resided here and his love for conservation and sharing of the coastal beauty is spirited and warm.
The thing about Dallas is that he does not want you to just be in the crowd enjoying the music and high seas; he wants you to become part of his ecosystem sharing in his life and passion. Recently engaged to a fellow musician, Dallas is evolving into another renaissance of self-discovery as he enters a new chapter in his life and there is room on this train to tag along.
Take it from this music fan and dreamer, catch a show, talk to Dallas and become a part of his journey. If you ask Captain Dallas Baker if he has room for more friends, I am certain he will say an enthusiastic yes.

Soul of Charleston – Original Poem
By Mark A. Leon
You embody the soul of us all
The sweet romance of the South coats us with a fragrant scent
Scripted from the feather tip ink of Keats or Byron
Forever and ever you will cuddle us with your paradise
The heart of the Palmetto soaks in the energy of the sun and fans away the heat
The guided force of the Ashley welcomes a heavenly breeze into the harbor
As ghosts of Charleston’s past lead the carriage ride to the future, we look around in fondness
Like a time capsule, our past, present, and future lie locked away safely under lock and key
These cobblestone roads tell a story with each bump
Wooden wagon wheels turn slowly reminding us to see life one moment at a time
Like the chiming of St. Michael’s, hold the memories close
You are our professor Lord Charleston and we are your students
In your humbled wisdom, you bestow life lessons
No walls, no rules, no boundaries
In this open air, we are offered prayer
Charleston marks the beginning, of life, love, and tranquility
Measured by the power of a hug, the gentleness of a kiss, the subtle nature of the autumn wind of the marina
Blessed by the sunrise, secured by the sunset, and guided by the lighthouse nestled on the coastal shore
Wayward sailors seek refuge
Charleston is kissed by the words of Poe, saturated with the gifts of the South and nurtured by the heart of family
With open arms, the city touches our spirit
We are children safe in our Charleston home
