Skid Baxter

Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Alice Cooper, Miles Davis and Alex Harvey have inspired Skid Baxter, the brainchild of Vinnie Salvatore. Vinnie is a guitarist from Pittsburgh, PA, most recently with the Columbus, Ohio-based hard rock band, Rat Bastard Syndicate (since 2016), featuring Steve Theado and Keith Pickens. Theado, Pickens and Salvatore are former members of American Dog.

Slumgullion (2022)

SKID BAXTER

Slumgullion is known variously as a watery meat stew; or as the mixed blood, oil, and salt water that collect on the decks of a ship while the valuable parts of a whale are being handled; or as a cheap drink, all perfect words to describe this song! Cover art by Nick Spanos. Slumgullion...the latest single from Skid Baxter.
