john butler trio

[moe.ron]

i remember seeing someone of here to drummed for the john butler trio does anyone know who it is? i could be confusing it with someone else but i can't remember. anyway what are everyone's thoughts on this band?

[Ozzy Biz]

A great independent Australian blues & roots band. The drummer is a guy name Michael Barker. I saw them live a year or two ago and they put on a great show

[moe.ron]

yeah i found out it was michael barker but i could have sworn someone else on here played with him...maybe not

[drozzy]

Seen them live a few times. Their live shows are some of the best i've seen. spectacular.

Michael Barker is also a very nice drummer, the way he incorporates a lot of percussion groove to get that 'jam-band' vibe is quite cool!

[moe.ron]

i like a lot of their songs but some lost their pizazz after i continued listening. the two songs i can't get enough of are better than and the live ocean version at st gallens

I love John butler, iv'e got the grand national album, very good album.
If you like John Butler, you should listen to Jason Mraz.

[zzdrummer]

They are amazing, I love both the albums I have, sunrise over sea and grand national, and they never get old. Also, I have seen them live and the whole band is amazing, john butlers solo "Ocean", the drum solo during Good Excuse with the whole band on percussion, and really tastefully done, I think Micheal Barker is a groovemaster also. I saw him outside the show but didn't realize until after he was gone. Sighhhh :(.

[oops]

Michael Barker is my hero.

Pretty sure Nicky Bomba recorded with JB, and someone else may have played with him before that, but Barker's been with him for quite a while now (5 years or so I think).

He is a fellow Australian, you are lucky I've only heard of Ben Lee and John Butler Trio form Australia, I've always wanted to check out more of the music scene there. I think Ben Lee's Australia? Right?

[oops]

Ben Lee is indeed Australian.

Other notable Aussie artists are... ACDC. Don't have any others right now, cept that Flea (RHCP) was born in Aus, and owns a house here.

[oops]

Oh... And INXS. And Men At Work.
