Tom Baxter
FameRank: 6

"Tom Baxter" is an English singer-songwriter based in London. He was born in Ipswich, Suffolk, and grew up in Cornwall with his sister Vashti Anna, two brothers, Jo Spencer and Charlie Winston, and parents Jeff and Julie Gleave (who were regulars on the folk music circuit in the late 1960s and early 1970s). Tom and his siblings use their middle names as stage surnames.

After moving to London at age 19 to attend music college, he spent many years on the gig circuit before successful residencies at Bush Hall in Shepherds Bush and The Bedford in Balham brought him to the attention of record labels.

A self-titled EP was released by Sony Music through the Columbia Records label in May 2004 and included the tracks "Joanna", "Half a Man" and "My Declaration".

His debut album, Feather and Stone, was released by Columbia in October 2004 to critical acclaim, and was a regular on the BBC Radio 2 playlist. Singles from the album included "This Boy" and "My Declaration". The album release was followed by a headlining UK tour. He also supported Nerina Pallot on her UK tour in January 2007.

What is that truck doing here. That just infuriates me.

The trails have matured to the point where it's almost impossible to ignore them now.

Every fire is put out one at a time. But they all get put out.

This is a great group of women in here. They are all my moms.

There should be a guard right here. Anyone could just walk in here.

That's what I do now. Throughout the year, I go out to other events and talk with the players, just talk to them. You know, just be friends with them, be nice to them. That is how we are bettering the field.

We are going to have drinks after everything calms down.
