LAS VEGAS (July 26, 2023) – In the midst of her sold-out arena tour, R&B music legend and eight-time GRAMMY Award-winning singer / songwriter Anita Baker will perform a special weekend engagement, Anita Baker: The Songstress in Las Vegas, at Dolby Live at Park MGM Friday, Oct. 6 and Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023 at 8 p.m.

Baker is currently on a sold-out tour, marking the first time she has been on a full tour since 1995 and the first time The Songstress will be performing her classic hits live since winning back the rights to her masters. The tour celebrates Baker’s 40 years as a music icon in the industry since her debut album, The Songstress, was released in 1983.

Baker, born in Toledo, OH, and raised in Detroit, MI, is one of the most popular singers of soulful ballads during the height of the quiet storm period in the 1980s. Starting her career in the late 1970s with the funk band Chapter 8, Baker released her first solo album, The Songstress, in 1983. In 1986, she rose to stardom following the release of her Platinum-selling second album, Rapture, which included the GRAMMY-winning single “Sweet Love.” Baker has won eight GRAMMY Awards and has four Platinum albums, along with two Gold albums. Baker is a contralto, with a vocal range that extends her register to at least three octaves.
