John Butler Trio (Australia) |
| The John Butler Trio
are undeniably one of Perth’s greatest musical drawcards attracting sell-out
concerts in many venues, and in 1999 & 2000 they have become
one of Australia’s greatest new talents. On tour, the Trio have supported
Weddings, Parties Anything, Powderfinger and Jebediah, performed at major
festivals across the country, and have just returned from a successful
debut at the Edinburgh Festival. The Trio mixes Celtic, Indian and
other Rock and Blues sounds, with John’s passionate vocals and mastery
on the 12-string guitar. In 1999 John Butler was awarded WA Music
Industry Awards in five categories: Best Acoustic Act, Best Guitarist,
Best Male Vocalist, Best Folk Act and Best CD launch. The John
Butler Trio are: John Butler, Jason McGann on drums, Gavin Shoesmith
on bass.
