Concert by singer-songwriter Hayden Baker at The Saxon Pub.
Hayden Baker plays The Saxon Pub on Friday, September 18, at 7 PM. It's a single-bill night, so he's the only name on the marquee.
If you haven't spent much time there, the Saxon is a wood-hewn songwriters' sanctuary on South Lamar with a capacity of 150. It's a non-stage room, meaning the floor is flat and the chairs angle toward the front, surrounded by booths. It's the same room Bob Schneider fills on Monday nights with Lonelyland, and it's built for listening—the kind of place where you can actually hear the room breathe around the music.
Baker is the sole feature of the evening, and the set is his to carry. The Saxon's layout puts the audience close to the performance, and with a room this size, the distance between the stage and the back row is short enough that you can hear the small things—the way a chord rings out or the space between the lines. It's a setting that suits a songwriter's night, where the focus stays on the songs and the voice.
