∆Dance Alert
The John Butler Trio is an eclectic Australian roots and jam
band led by award-winning musician John Butler. Born in
California, Butler moved to Australia - his father's native land
- when he was eleven. He started as a busker on the streets of
Perth and Fremantle, playing various styles, including Indian,
Celtic, bluegrass, and folk. He has gone on to be one of the most
successful recording artists Australia has ever produced.
With number one albums in Australia and sell-out tours,
Butler's reputation has begun to rock the waters of both
Europe and America. With bluegrass fingerpicking, hip hop
beats and psychedelic wig-outs, Butler’s sound has elements
of folk, funk, reggae and rock, and live shows have been
described as uplifting and inspiring.
