Welcome to The Encore Club - Where your dream concert becomes a reality!

In this episode, we’re joined by Sam Baxter — dancer, actor, and all-round creative who's appeared in Wicked, Stranger Things: The First Shadow, Snow White, and even the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
From life on huge film sets with Ariana Grande to chaotic raves in Leeds, Sam brings stories, soul, and serious music taste to The Encore Club. We dive into his eclectic musical influences, the reality of working in entertainment, and how teaching, wellness, and ADHD all shape his creative world.
Sam reveals his ultimate dream gig lineup — from BB King to MF DOOM — plus his support acts, headline choices, and encore tracks. He also takes on Spotify Roulette, our “Death Row Setlist” challenge, and gives a shoutout to some of the best independent venues around.
If you’re into timeless music, creative chaos, and behind-the-scenes stories from stage and screen — this one's for you.
