DENISE BAKER PAST Events & More:

Denise Baker

Denise Baker’s appearances have ranged from small, intimate club settings to full blown concerts, television appearances to fund raising events in Europe. Denise has been a sought after entertainer for the corporate client who demands sophistication, elegance and absolute professionalism. For these reasons, Denise has a very strong presence in Southern Ontario. The Denise Baker Group's musicians are some of the most respected in their field - and Denise would not have it any other way. She sees her musicians as family and also as an integral part to her successes. The following are some of her past performances:

Grand River Film Festival Inaugural Gala – October, 2007

This was one of the most exciting events that Denise has ever been a part of for two reasons: Playing at the Gala which was a fabulous event and she also was a volunteer with the Festival. Denise joined this not-for-profit organization because she felt that something new was needed in this area. Well, she put my money where my mouth was and helped, along with the commitment of so many others, this event was a great success. She  looks forward to next year’s Festival.

Kidney Foundation of Canada:
Brush of Hope
 – November, 2007 E-Bay Auction

Denise is very proud to be part of this extraordinary event to raise money for the Kidney Foundation of Canada -- and it's personal because she knows people with Kidney disease. Do you?

How about someone with high blood pressure? Or diabetes? Well, these are the two leading cause of kidney failure. Or maybe you know someone who gets kidney stones? If so, then you know someone with kidney disease! Beginning November 2nd for 10 days only, YOU will have the chance of a lifetime to buy original paintings by some of Canada’s most recognized stars.  That’s right, you could have an original “Brent Butt of Corner Gas” (or in my case, "an original Denise Baker") hanging from you living room wall, over your bed, or perhaps you’d prefer to hang it in the recreation room or music room. Well, here's your chance!

Dozens of Canadian celebrities have generously donated their time and talent to help fight kidney disease.  Check out her painting and others at "Kidney Foundation of Canada" the paintings here, then go to www.ebay.ca on November 2nd and type “Kidney Foundation” into the search field and start bidding! All funds raised from the sale of the paintings will go toward kidney research in Canada.
