Born April 1st in 1975 (no joke), Butler is an Australian American award-winning singer, multi-instrumentalist musician, songwriter and producer. He is the front man for the John Butler Trio, a roots and jam band, and is an open advocate for peace, environmental protection, and global harmony; actively supporting The Wilderness Society, the Save Ningaloo Reef campaign and the “Save The Kimberley” campaign — a group that protests the BHP Billiton corporation’s involvement with the proposed James Price Point gas industrial complex in Western Australia’s beautiful, pristine Kimberley region. Despite his immense (and well justified) success, John has remained humble and caring though it all; sharing his Love for the Earth and all Her inhabitants in every piece of music he composes and every song he sings or plays.

“I still cared about everything I cared about, but I don’t know how to write another song about another greedy asshole ruining our planet. I had already done that. So I started writing about the damage of war and the destruction of the environment. And yet as you drill down deeper, as you move closer to the core of the heart, there are so many great stories to be had which aren’t literally talking about a specific problem.” ~ John Butler
