I'm sure this guy has been around for awhile but I just got introduced to him so thought I'd share. For all you guitarists out there, you'll be blown away by this guy!

    I can't say enough good stuff about JBT!

    I'm surprised they aren't bigger in the US..........

    He will be in Seattle in December. I first heard of him on a Live from the Mountain Music Lounge. CD. A Seattle channel 103.7 puts out a cd each year with live music played in their studio. Pickapart was the song, and since then I have gotten two of his cd's. #X.

    So glad to see the rest of the world is getting the opportunity to enjoy JB3. :)

    Still one of the best live performances I've seen apart from PJ. :)
    NOPE!!!

    the #1 album you have to get of JBT is "Living 2001-2002". It is seriously amazing.

    their new album kinda sucks (does JB think he's bob marley or something now? he has to get back to some plain old rocking out) but they are still fuckin EPIC in concert. lots of praise for JB but the drummer is seriously one of the most mindblowing ive ever seen.

    'what you want' is still one of the most moving, mesmerizing, most emotional songs i have ever heard. beautifully written, sung, played. god, i love that song.

    i, honestly, don't see how they aren't fucking huge in america. they're original, great musicians, catchy, and fucking amazing live. i can't wait to see them.

    The drummers re written the rules for sure. And that kit of his is being replicated by just about every new band coming out these days

    my husband looked very similar to ol' John Butler when I first met him.
    Since weve had kids and got married he has cut off his dreddies and taken out the nose ring.
    When I see JB playing it takes me back to my hey day :)
