SUMMARY:Rayland Baxter @ Higher Ground
DESCRIPTION:The Point Welcomes: \nRayland Baxter \nA Tour de Point Show \nFriday\, February 1st @ 8:30 pm \nHigher Ground | Burlington\, VT \n-Get Tickets and Event Info Here- \nThoreau had Walden Pond. Kerouac had Big Sur. Rayland Baxter? He had an old rubber band factory in Franklin\, Kentucky\, and it suited him just fine. As one of the hardest-touring artists on the road today\, Baxter’s spent most of his professional life in transit\, but ever since he was a kid\, he dreamed of creative seclusion someplace lonely and isolated\, somewhere he could sit still and devote his every waking hour to writing without interruption or distraction. When the opportunity finally presented itself in late 2016\, the Nashville native pounced. \n“I packed everything in my van and moved to Franklin for three months\,” says Baxter. “It was the fist time I ever got to be alone and focus solely on songs like that. All I did was write\, write\, write all day every day. I was obsessed.” \nBy the time Baxter emerged\, he’d penned more than 50 tunes and crafted a detailed blueprint for his spectacular new album\, ‘Wide Awake.’ Deftly produced by Butch Walker\, the record infuses Baxter’s easygoing\, soulful sound with British Invasion melodies and rock and roll swagger\, marrying lean\, muscular songwriting with adventurous\, inventive arrangements. It’s a cutting\, insightful collection\, one that takes a sardonic view the violence\, greed\, and division that seem to define the modern American landscape. Rather than point a finger\, though\, the music holds up a mirror\, offering a sober reflection of the times thoughtfully bundled in bright\, infectious hooks. There’s no judgment here\, only keen observation\, and Baxter implicates himself as much as his neighbor through it all.
