RAYLAND BAXTER

Nashville's Rayland Baxter, son of pedal steel guitarist Bucky Baxter, first gained national attention with his 2012 debut, Feathers & FishHooks, reissued by ATO Records. His sound, which has evolved through releases like 2018's Wide Awake and his upcoming True Violet (October 2026), blends alternative country with roots rock and touches of psychedelia. Expect a thoughtful, often introspective, journey through his evocative songwriting.
