Tom Baxter is a singer-songwriter based in London. Born in Suffolk, he grew up in Cornwall, with both parents regulars on the folk music circuit. After moving to London at age 19 to attend music college, he spent many years on the gig circuit before a successful residency at Bush Hall in Shepherds Bush brought him to the attention of record labels.
A self-titled EP was released in May 2004 containing the tracks Joanna, Half a Man and My Declaration. The latter song was to become the second single from his debut album Feather and Stone, following the single This Boy.
Feather and Stone was released by Sony International in October 2004 to critical acclaim, and was a regular feature on Radio 2’s playlist. It was followed by a headlining UK tour. The most common comparisons made to other artists include Jeff Buckley and Nick Drake.
His latest single “Better” was released in Dec 2007, and received airplay across the Atlantic due to it’s inclusion in the film “Run, Fat Boy, Run”.
The second album “Skybound” was released 7th Jan 2008

Thought i knew what i was going to get with skybound, suprised me with some of the tracks. Its an ok album, probably further listenin may help more, but 'Better' is such a tune. Compared to all of the other top tracks, 17,000 then 459 for skybound really big gap. Seems to be gettin really big here in Ireland.
