John Butler replaces 'Trio'
24 March 2009 by Richard Wilson
Citing 'purely artistic reasons', following a few appearances culminating with East and West Coast Blues & Roots Festival headline spots, the John Butler Trio lineup as we know it will dissolve ahead of John's fifth studio album.
Michael Barker and Shannon Birchall have made up two-thirds of John Butler Trio for the past six years, recording and touring extensively through this period.
Butler said in a release: "Michael and Shannon have been by far the best line up I have performed with in The John Butler Trio to date. They have been a pleasure to live, love, learn, record and tour with. Their professionalism, musicianship, and commitment have been unwavering and for that and a whole lot more I am truly thankful."
Wolfmother split last year after the bassist and drummer cited 'irreconcilable differences'. Reports suggested that this split was caused by royalty payment disputes.
The current Trio lineup will play four more shows together:
Thursday April 9th Fire and Flood Benefit gig, The Governor Hindmarsh, Adelaide SA – SOLD OUT
Friday April 10th Chill City, Melbourne, VIC www.chillcity.com.au
Sunday April 12th East Coast Blues And Roots Festival, Byron Bay, NSW www.bluesfest.com.au
Saturday April 18th West Coast Blues and Roots Festival, Fremantle, WA www.sunsetevents.com.au
