Band Members: When it's the acoustic stuff, it's usually just me.
However, you might be lucky enough to see me with the wonderfull Beth singing as well, or occasionally other musicians and singers.
Influences: I guess these don't ALL influence my acoustic songs but they influence my guitar playing and singing or my compositions or how I want to sound...

Sounds Like: "...kinda like James Morrison but not a big ugly prick" - John Crow, Braintree. Essex. (July ’07)
"Baxter’s easy banter and natural stage presence gave his songs, both originals and covers, a lightness akin to acoustic soul searchers like James Morrison. His voice, however, raised the bar: in songs like "Lost" and "Look Away", his was the sexiest you’d hear this side of Morrison and Ray LaMontagne’s love child." - Gennelle Smith. Arts & Entertainment, The Gazette, January 15th, 2008. (Canada)
