CARY BAKER'S CONQUEROO

My name is Cary Baker and I operate the music PR firm Conqueroo. I have worked in the music publicity field for 30 years and am proud to say that Conqueroo is a no-compromise company: I have to feel passionate about every artist we represent. When I am passionate about music, great things have a way of happening.

Before I launched Conqueroo, I worked as VP of Publicity (department head) at Capitol Records, I.R.S. Records, Discovery Records and Morgan Creek Records. Over the years, I have spearheaded publicity campaigns for R.E.M., The Finn Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, Shelby Lynne, the Beastie Boys, Delbert McClinton, Cheap Trick, Loudon Wainwright III, Alex Chilton, Susan Tedeschi, Tina Turner, Steve Vai, Concrete Blonde, Frank Zappa, Tom Verlaine, Motown reissues and more.

We begin work most days at 7 a.m. Pacific Time as we feel it’s important for a West Coast-based PR firm to work in real time with East Coast media. If you visited our offices, you’d note that NPR is on.

Since Conqueroo opened its doors in April 2004, we have represented some outstanding artists and events: Past, present and recurrent clients include The Band of Heathens, Richard Barone, Big Sandy, Blues Traveler, J.J.
