Sam Baxter presents traditional songs in a way that is raw and immediate. He weaves and twists the well-trodden melodies of our islands around his own contemporary arrangements, creating deeply personal performances filled with warmth and emotion. Sam Baxter sings a carefully selected repertoire of traditional songs paired with electric and acoustic guitars, fiddle and drones, creating a sound that is unmistakably his own.
