SUPPORT LATEST LAME !!
Though he spent the first 11 years of his life in California, it was in
Australia -- his father's native land -- that guitarist John Butler picked up
the instrument that would later launch his music career. After showing interest
in the guitar, the 16-year-old Butler was given his late grandfather's dobro. He
quickly began learning to play different styles of music, including Indian,
Celtic, bluegrass, and folk. Butler showcased his budding skills by busking on
the streets of Perth and Fremantle, and he began building an audience after
releasing a homemade cassette featuring his own instrumental songs. The busking
performances eventually gave way to a weekly residency at Mojos, a bar in North
Fremantle, and Butler balanced his Tuesday evening gigs with preparations for a
proper studio album.
John Butler
He released the self-titled John Butler in 1998, having recorded the album with
drummer Jason McGann and bassist Gavin Shoesmith. The JBT EP followed in 2000,
and Three -- the first of Butler's albums to also receive an American release --
appeared in 2001. Shoesmith had decided to leave the John Butler Trio by this
point, but he was replaced by Rory Quirk and then later by Andrew Fry, who
joined the band for its 2002 American tour. By now a bona fide star in
Australia, Butler released a flurry of material during the three subsequent
years: a double-disc live album, Living 2001-2002; an EP, Zebra; and a proper
studio album entitled Sunrise Over Sea. Living 2001-2002 sold well and went
platinum in Australia, but Sunrise Over Sea trumped its success exponentially,
eventually going five-times platinum in Butler's homeland and faring well on
several international charts as well. It also led to an opening spot on Dave
Matthews' tour that year, which spread the John Butler Trio's music to thousands
of new fans.
Grand National
Still partnered with Jarrah Records, the indie label that he and fellow Aussies
the Waifs had founded in order to distribute their music overseas, Butler
released Grand National worldwide in March 2007. Grand National was an ambitious
project, featuring more instruments than the band's past releases, as well as
multiple guest appearances. It was also the last album to feature bandmembers
Shannon Birchall and Michael Barker, as Butler restructured the trio's lineup in
2009 in order to keep the music fresh. Featuring bassist Byron Luiters and
drummer Nicky Bomba, the revised John Butler Trio returned to the studio later
that year to commence work on April Uprising, the band's fifth studio album,
which was released in early 2010. While touring later that year, the group
recorded a particularly memorable performance at Red Rocks Amphitheater, which
was packaged into a three-disc live album and released in 2011 as Live at Red
Rocks. The trio's sixth long-player, Flesh & Blood, arrived in early 2014.
