John Butler Trio - Ocean

Some artists are best seen in person, on a little stage, in as intimate a setting as you can get, with as few other people as possible. Others are best seen on cd...

John Butler started his music career as a busker in Perth, Australia, while studying to be an art teacher. Thankfully enough people on the street stopped to listen that it convinced him to try being a full-time musician. He has a fast finger picking style, similar to Tony Cox, whom I saw live with about 15 other people here in Fredericton a couple years ago. His ensemble, the John Butler Trio, is on a North American tour starting May 20th, and if you get a chance to go, you might be lucky enough to see something a little like this.


Did you hear that little mistake right at the beginning? Sometimes even the greatest performances aren't perfect.
