Will Baxter is a Salt Lake City–based singer, songwriter, and bandleader whose music lives at the intersection of soul, funk, blues, and Americana. Rooted in groove and built on honest storytelling, his songs are equal parts heartfelt and high-energy.

Fronting the Will Baxter Band, Baxter blends vintage soul influences with modern Americana sensibilities, creating a sound that feels timeless yet immediate. Drawing inspiration from classic soul, blues tradition, and roots music, his writing focuses on connection, emotion, and the simple joy of a great groove played live.

A longtime staple of the Utah music scene, Baxter has released multiple albums, most recently DRIP, and built a reputation as a dynamic live performer. His shows are defined by tight musicianship, improvisation, and a deep connection with the audience whether in intimate clubs, packed local venues, or outdoor festival settings. Backed by a seasoned group of players (often featuring extended horn and percussion sections), the Will Baxter Band delivers performances that are energetic, soulful, and unforgettable.

At the core of Baxter’s work is a belief that music feeds the soul. Whether on record or on stage, his goal is simple: to bring people together, make them feel something real, and send them home a little lighter than when they arrived.
