John Butler

John Butler is an icon. One of Australia’s most prolific independent artists, Butler has paved the way for troubadours to rewrite their pathway to success in the music business, free from the shackles of major labels, corporate sponsors and moral compromise. 

A political activist, environmental warrior and a master of stringed instruments, deep grooves and openhearted lyrical reflections, Butler is 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 his new solo 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) – Butler reclaims his classic groove-laden force, brimming with fierce guitars, robust percussion and meteoric choruses.
