Anita Baker on Tour
Anita Baker has brought grace and class to every performance since her teenage days honing her three-octave vocal range at Detroit nightclubs. After gaining more experience on the stage with the Detroit funk band Chapter 8, she set off on a solo career in the early 1980s.
She hit it big with such romantic classics as "Sweet Love" and took the world by storm, starting with her first headlining stint, The Rapture Tour, in 1986. Over the next decade, Baker kept conquering the charts as well as stages around the world, until 1994-95's Rhythm of Love tour.
After a long hiatus, she came back strong in 2004 after signing to Blue Note Records, and she became a regular on the road once again. In January 2018, she announced her retirement, but not before saying goodbye with a bang with her hugely successful Farewell Concert Series tour.
Anita Baker Background
One of the great masters of quiet-storm slow jams, Anita Baker has long been a dependable voice for soft sophistication and everlasting romance. Born in 1958 in Toledo, Ohio, but raised in Detroit, Baker found her passion at a young age, performing in gospel choirs, then singing at local clubs and performing in various bands, including funk band Chapter 8.
It took some time — and persuasion from Beverly Glen Records label head Otis Smith — before she pursued a solo career. She recorded her debut album, The Songstress, in 1983. Three years later, she hit her stride with her sophomore album, Rapture. The release garnered a number of hits, including Grammy-winning songs "Caught Up in the Rapture" and "Sweet Love."
The following year, she earned one more Grammy, this time on track "Ain't Got No Need to Worry," a collaboration with brother quartet The Winans. The hits kept coming with Baker's 1988 album, Giving You the Best That I Got, which landed on the top of the Billboard charts and earned her more Grammys for Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song.
Baker would continue to dominate R&B into the next decade, starting with 1990's Compositions, followed by Rhythm of Love in 1994. From that point on, Baker took a break to focus on family, and it wasn't until a decade later that she returned with her next album, 2004's My Everything and then a holiday release, Christmas Fantasy.
The next decade saw another Grammy nomination, this time for Best Traditional R&B Performance with 2012's Tyrese cover "Lately." In 2018, she was honored with the BET Lifetime Achievement Award. That same year, Baker announced her retirement — but not before selling out shows around the country for her farewell tour.

Dec 2023 concert in LA…her voice hasn’t changed, the feeling I had in highschool listening to Sweet Love felt just as new, and the vibe she creates with her soulfulness is timeless! I’m only sorry she doesn’t have any 2025 dates at this time! Such a generational talent - there will Never be another “Anita”! Lifetime Opportunity- bless yourself and your special one to see her! I hope I get another chance!!
The concert was in Detroit was amazing, Anita did her thing always love you Anita Baker, come back home we miss you! We need another concert 🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️
People have things going in their life “JUST LIKE YOU DO” Things happen unexpectedly in this life all the time. The amount of shear disrespect I’ve seen people articulate verbally aimed at The lovely Mrs Anita baker is pathetic to say to the least. All the positive,good- hearted music, electric postive stage performance, As natural as natural gets and just an overall sweet person,ALLLL that she has done for the soothing of the mind by simply just putting her albums in and relaxing,etc.. she cancels a show and people ( our people ) wash their hands with her??????oh what a shame, such a sad way to live😂Do good 30 years, have a inconvenience from every day life activities and now they want to stone her??? Never really loved and respected her and definitely not a true fan to even conjure up thoughts as such. I admit I was disappointed because I really wanted to seee her, but I also overstand life does lyfe!!
I thoroughly enjoyed her concert when I went. I was late myself and she waited to everyone to get in. It was raining cats, dogs, and elephants that night. I hope she’s well and that she has upcoming dates for 2025, because I definitely will be there again! Her performance was flawless!
I've seen Anita many times and it was always a joy. I'd like to thank her for sharing her gift of song with me and many others. God Bless.
I’m praying that Anita Baker is well and know that she wouldn’t have canceled her concert without good cause. Disrespectful comments from some people need to stop and unfounded assumptions should cease too. Let’s wish her well and pray that she’s doing well. If she plans to continue to tour, let’s continue to buy tickets and her music. She has invested her life entertaining us with her music and influence. Let’s keep loving her and wish her well and appreciate what she has always given to her fans.
I have been attending Anita Baker concerts since the 80's and loved her performances. For me she is the best! I hope and pray she is well and if she's ill, on the road to a speedy recovery! 🙏♥️
I’m praying that Anita Baker is doing well. For this outstanding artist to cancel her concert in ATL has me and other fans very concerned. She gave an outstanding performance in 2023 and has always given her fans her gift of music. Hopefully we will get some news that she’s okay.
As one of your biggest fans, I was very disappointed about the ATL 05/11/24, cancellation. It was a Mom's Day gift from my daughter. Many are mad, but I pray that all is well. You never know what someone is going through, and we must extend them the same grace God's gives to us daily. When and if you are able, please try to make it right with your fans, we love you. You are in my prayers.
This lady at this point is a JOKE how do you cancel a show 30mins before it should start! Never again Miss Over done Baker you NOT welcomed in THE A. Could not give me a ticket to see you at this point.
