The fourth full length album, Soft Shield, was released on vinyl by the Italian record label, Fooltribe, in the fall of 2013 and it was released later in the U.S. by Curly Cassettes and Infinite Front.
Ghost to Falco has toured all over the United States and Europe numerous times and continues to do so.

Traveling, creating, and sharing original live music are a few essential ingredients for the enrichment of humanity. Norman Baker plays homage to this fact by introducing new and old songs to as many communities as possible. His new album utilizes undertones of pedal steel,mandolin, banjo, upright bass, clarinet, and of course an onslaught of acoustic and electric guitars telling stories of loss, loss prevention, camping, driving without cell phones, childlike innocence, home towns, and walking till your shoes wear through. When not traveling and playing with his full band, Norman Baker & The Backroads, he’s traveling and playing solo acoustic in far off amazing places such as The Sou’Wester, where he’s been visiting with his family since he was a child.
Lisa Prank (one woman punk pop queen Robin Edwards) is currently touring her 2016 LP “Adult Teen” on Father/Daughter Records .
The Young Pioneers is a punk rock, pop band formed in Olympia Washington in the fall of 1982 by 
Chris Pugh, Scott Vanderpool,Chris Gloekler and Bradley Sweek, with Brian Learned replacing Mr. Gloekler in January 1983. They played extensively in the Northwest from 1982 until 1987 writing and arranging all their own material. They have remained fast friends for all these years as they pursued music projects with other bands. Scott, Chris, & Bry continued to play extensively while Brad dropped out of music entirely in the early nineties. In 2012 they start playing again with Colm Meek on synth and Nathan Paul on bass.
