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.
