Jordan Baker has been a staple of the Canton Michigan music scene for years. He has played in The Great Basement Crusade, The Rising Tide, and Good Luck Varsity. On a lighter side he has released several songs as The Soft Touch Band and Space Canoe.

When he was 13 he "played" drums in .savingandrew. which never got off the ground or even wrote a single song. However they did write some awesome song titles. The best of these titles was "The Great Basement Crusade". Jordan later met Rich Rich, and Tim Paul who invited him to join their band as a keyboard player. Jordan agreed but hated their name which at the time was "Endless Obsession" (kinda creepy) He suggested the name "The Great Basement Crusade" and it stuck. The band took advice from Jordan's older brother Evan Baker and began to book shows and order merch. After a few flops the band established themselves in the Plymouth/Canton area and by the end of their time together they were drawing a crowd big enough to pack out the very very small Internet cafe in Canton.

Jordan and Tim both left TGBC and joined up with Evan Baker's band "The Rising Tide" During his time in The Rising Tide they signed to Aseltine Records, Recorded a Full-Length album entitled "Drive Home Dreaming", went on 2 short regional tours of the Mid-West and played Cornerstone Festival on the Encore 2 stage. The band broke up due to complicated situations.

Jordan now plays in Good Luck Varsity which has, released an EP entitled "Head High Heavy Hearted", played Cornerstone Festival (Encore 2), and is currently writing and recording a new EP. Read more on Last.fm.
