video G uitar, mandolin, piano, drums, bass, ukulele, harmonica, spoons… Local musician Brandon Butler can play it all, but these days he says, “It’s just me and a guitar” Butler has been playing music in Calhoun County for more than 20 years. “I’ve been in lots of bands here, and I kind of felt like it was time to get back out there and play again,” he explains. “I’ve been playing the local circuit, and it’s really going good.” Not only a talented musician, Butler is also a songwriter. “I’m always singing, always writing… I actually have 25 or 30 originals right now that I’m waiting to record.” “My goal will be to probably get a three song demo and just kinda do Spotify and iTunes and Apple Music and just kind of entrepreneur it,” he says “Give me something to put out on the table and then kinda see where that goes.” INSIGHT July 2018 15
