Release Notes:
Though he was born and spent the first 11 years of his
life in California, it was in Australia, his father's
native land, that John Butler picked up the instrument
that would later be vital to his career. After having
shown interest in the guitar, the young Butler was given
his late grandfather's Dobro, and he quickly began
learning to play different styles of music, including
Indian, Celtic, bluegrass, and folk. His self-released
cassette tape brought him interest in the city of Perth,
where he was living, and soon after, in 1998, his first
album, John Butler, with drummer Jason McGann and bassist
Gavin Shoesmith, was released, followed in 2000 by the JBT
EP and Three -- the first of his albums to also eventually
came out in the U.S. -- in 2001 (Showsmith, at this point,
had decided to leave the John Butler Trio, 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, in 2003, shortly after the birth
of his daughter Banjo, the guitarist issued the
double-disc live set Living 2001-2002 and the EP Zebra,
with Sunrise Over Sea (for the latter, the John Butler
Trio had become Butler with bassist Shannon Birchall and
drummer Michael Barker) in 2004. This album sold well in
Australia, debuting at number one on the ARIA charts, and
led Butler to an opening spot on Dave Matthews' tour that
year. Still with Jarrah, the company that he and fellow
Aussies the Waifs had founded in order to distribute their
music overseas, and the same band, Butler released Grand
National worldwide in March of 2007.
