John Butler

Following the triumphant release of his latest album PRISM, musical
revolutionary John Butler is returning to the US and Canada with his band
for a spring tour of epic proportions. Forming a ferocious new band
including original JBT drummer Michael Barker, Ian Peres on bass/keys
and Michael Boase on percussion, these shows promise to be packed with
the classics, groove-laden jams and Butler’s signature instrumental
flourishes – a full two hours plus of sheer John Butler band power. Butler
and his band will do what they do best, taking the audience through alt-rock
explosions, heartfelt ballads and anthemic pop choruses, building on
John’s legacy as one of the most revered live acts of his generation.
A master of his instruments and openhearted lyrical reflections, Butler has
amassed a deeply devoted fan base, who cross the world to see him play.
An activist and environmental warrior, it is Butler’s grasp of melody and
soul that have commanded attention for more than 20 years, superseding
even the big hits such as ‘Zebra’ and ‘Better Than’, resulting in a swag of
platinum records. His instrumental opus ‘Ocean’, a fan favourite, has gone
viral countless times across the past decade due to the sheer talent and
execution that John is known for.
Kicking off on April 14 in Madison Wisconsin, Butler and his band will
traverse the US and Canada for a month of shows, closing out the tour in
Seattle on May 16.
With a reputation for bringing the riotous and the raw to stages worldwide,
Butler and band are primed to unleash once more. Don’t miss this tour.
