   About Saint John the Gambler
retro layout powered by ............................................................................................................................... Saint John the Gambler has been Mark Baker’s musical guise since 2006. Inspired by Townes Van Zandt, in both name and originality, Baker’s songs have been constructed with musicians from all over the world. From the beginning, SJG has always been a collective playing folk influenced alternative music. .................................................................................................................................... As Saint John, Baker has performed and/or recorded with Alexander Sheykin, Marc Proulx, Garan Fitzgerald, Sean MacNutt, Anni Moynihan, Gifford Machirus, Vadim Scott, Anna Fedotova, Ali Henry, Enikeev Gadel, Lee Ji-sun, Konstantin Drobitko, David Marnoch, George Bozanich, Brodie Read and Brad Wheeler. The current line-up is with Mary-Elizabeth Holby on violin and vocals, Doug Short on accordion and Felix Brochier on trumpet. .................................................................................................................................. SJG first hit the stage in Seoul, South Korea in May 2006 as a seven piece acoustic ensample. Performing on the university scene and to the ex-pat community the band developed a loyal following, releasing their debut self-titled EP in March 2007. By the time Trains for the Sea, the full-length debut album, was released in December 2008, SJG had gone through several member changes and a strong shift in musical direction to a more mature alternative sound. Following the success of the album release Baker left Korea, moving to Montreal, Canada bringing with him the name Saint John the Gambler. .................................................................................................................................. The SJG sound now has once again moved forward to a fusion of various cultural traditions, outstanding musicianship and Baker’s contemporary songwriting to form a bluesy Celtic piracy that is vivacious and beautiful. ...............................................................................................................................
