The John Butler Trio is an eclectic roots/jam band from Australia led by guitarist and vocalist John Butler. Two of the band’s albums, Three (2001) and Living 2001-2002 (2003), have gone platinum in Australia, each reaching the top ten of the Australian album charts. John Butler was born on April 1, 1975 in Torrance, California to an Australian father and American mother. He moved to the small Western Australian town of Pinjarra on 26 January 1986 when he was eleven.
In June 2009, the new line up of the ever evolving John Butler Trio emerged. Prominent Melbourne musician Nicky Bomba (drums and percussion) of ‘Bomba’ fame and principal drummer on ’ Sunrise Over Sea ’ joined the band, as did bass player Byronfrom Sydney outfit Ray Mann Three.
The album entitled April Uprising came from a journey John Butler undertook for the ‘Who Do You Think You Are’ TV series. He traces the Butler name through generations of hardship to a matriarch who sang for her survival and follows his Bulgarian ancestry to a forebear caught up in a violent revolt called the April Uprising.
The recording process for the new album (the first release from the JBT in 3 years) has been shared with avid JBT followers via a special studio sessions page on the band’s website: www.johnbutlertrio.com

Grand National is one of the best albums by any artist I've ever heard. Sunrise and Three are great too. I hope April Uprising can keep it going. I liked One Way Road, so we'll see.

the work he delivered on ''Sunrise over Sea'' and ''Grand National'' is fuckin godlike. I don't know any other artist in this segment of music who even gets close to the omni-inspiring music of the JBT. Too bad he has turned so ''poppy'', nothing wrong with pop...but i just loved his music, there are plenty of pop artists out there, there is a shortage of John Butlers though....I'd love to see him work together with John Frusciante one day, both artists as pure as they'll probably come.

@TaintedxSanity: To get their stuff going in Australia, where it all started, they created their own label with the Waifs. Its called Jarrah records. If creating your own label is not Indie, I don't know what is.
