Susana Baker

2024 National Hammered Dulcimer Champion

Susana (soo-SAH-nah) Baker is a hammered dulcimer performer from St. Louis, MO. She has been playing hammered dulcimer since she was 14, after 4 years of playing classical violin. Through the hammered dulcimer she was introduced to the wonderful world of folk music. Susana’s main style of music is now Old Time, but she also draws influence from Celtic, Canadian, and Scandinavian music traditions.

Susana is the 2024 National Hammered Dulcimer Champion. She has taught and performed at Evart Fun Fest and Gebhard Woods Dulcimer and Traditional Music Festival.

You can catch Susana playing hammered dulcimer around the St. Louis area, including contra dances, the First Missouri State Capitol Historic Site, playing at her church, or joining in with local Old Time jams.
