The John Butler Trio!!!
Lets talk about a great band that I have discovered a few years a ago reading an online newspaper in Mexico. I was looking for a video about dont know what when I saw the latest releases in CDs and saw this guy with a guitar. I should say that in the first instance I said 'he looks cute' LOL, yes and decided to hear the song that it was there: Zebra. From the first sound I thought 'wow sounds good, the kind of music I like' and it was true a real funky sound!!!. I should say that all of them are great in their instruments but John Butler is really, really great in his guitar, if he was not a 'peace and love' guy I think I could fell in love of him!! LOL.
Mr. John Butler!!
The JBT was formed in 1998 in Australia and it is a jam band. If you like to hear an eclectic band you should hear this one, obviously, some are not so good but the most, at least for me, have a strong sound, rythm, make you dance and sing. For your information I will include a board that was found in wikipedia:
