John Butler is one of Australia’s premiere alternative songwriters and storytellers with accolades spanning from #1 charting albums, platinum records and ARIA Awards across his illustrious career as one of the country’s most successful independent musicians.

One of Australia’s most prolific independent artists, Butler is a political activist, environmental warrior and a master of stringed instruments, deep grooves and openhearted lyrical reflections. More than a humble singer-songwriter: he is a musical revolutionary. 

With his unique grasp of melody, soul and anthemic pop choruses, the ARIA award winner’s deft musicality has kept him on our airwaves for more than 20 years, with hits such as ‘Zebra’ and ‘Better Than’, not to mention his swag of platinum records, and the trademark instrumental epic ‘Ocean’, which has amassed more than 65 million YouTube views. 

His latest album, PRISM, Season Three of his Four Season roll-out - which includes an album of meditations (Running River) and a fully instrumental album (Still Searching) – reclaimed Butler’s classic groove-laden force, again topping the ARIA Australian album charts and seducing fans globally as he toured from North America to the UK, Europe and across Australia and New Zealand.

For PRISM, Butler formed a ferocious new band including original JBT drummer Michael Barker, Ian Peres on bass/keys and Michael Boase on percussion. The live sound is immense, injecting an unbridled energy into the PRISM anthems and bringing the much-loved classics a renewed fervour. The gents are truly on fire.

The year ahead promises another jam-packed schedule of international touring as Butler’s music continues to traverse the globe, taking his high-octane live show to audiences worldwide, reminding fans why he is considered one of the finest singer-songwriters and musicians in the world today.
