History
editEarly career
editThe John Butler Trio is fronted by John Butler on vocals and guitars. He started his career as abuskerin Fremantle, Western Australia and released a self-recordedcassette,Searching for Heritagein 1996.Gavin Shoesmithondouble bassand bass guitar founded Katamaran inDarwinwith Mark Hoffman ondidgeridooand Grant Smith on percussion.[1]With Butler, Shoesmith and Jason McGann on drums, John Butler Trio was formed in Fremantle in 1998 and independently released theJohn Butleralbum in December.[2]It was produced by Butler and included re-recorded versions of two tracks from hisSearching for Heritage.
The trio toured throughout Western Australia in 1999, thenThe Waifsinvited Butler to perform solo on their Australian tour – he also performed his own gigs. The John Butler Trio then launched their own tour where Butler met his future wife Danielle Caruana inBroome.
The John Butler Trio released the four-track extended play,JBT,in April 2000 with songs short enough to win radio play. It was produced by Butler and Shaun O'Callaghan.[2]Radio stationTriple Jchose the track "Pickapart" to put on high rotation. The band began to develop a wider reputation with a performance at theEast Coast Blues & Roots Music FestivalinByron Bayin 2000.[3]Butler recalled that his first gig had about 50 people, the second gig started the same way when "it absolutely pissed with rain and 3000 people ran into our tent. And the show just went berserk. It was like a suffocated fire – you lift the lid and it explodes".[3]The John Butler Trio has become a regular artist at the annual event.[3]
Three
editIn April 2001, John Butler Trio releasedThreeand relocated to Melbourne to promote the record on the east coast. The track, "Betterman", was on high rotation by Triple J.[4]Threepeaked at No. 24 on theARIA Charts.[5]It also remained on the alternative charts for nine months reaching No. 3. At theARIA Music Awards of 2001the album won an award for 'Best Independent Release'.[6]"Betterman" reached No. 5 on theTriple J Hottest 100, 2001.
Shoesmith left the trio to form his own band,The Groovesmiths,Butler replaced him with 19-year-old Rory Quirk, who was on their first tour of the United States in 2001. Quirk, in turn, left in 2002 to pursue a career with his band, Quirk. Andrew Fry joined as the next bass player.
The success ofThreeled to its release in the US in 2002 and two tours of the US followed. The band supported theDave Matthews BandandJohn Mayeras well as playing at theBonnaroo Music Festivaland theSouth by Southwest Festival.The band also played at theSplendour in the GrassFestival in Australia. Butler, his manager Phil Stevens and fellow Western Australian folk artists,The Waifs,foundedJarrah Recordsin July 2002.[7]
As a result of intensive touring, the band developed a great live reputation in Australia. The band releasedLiving 2001-2002in February 2003, a double live album which had a top ten debut in the ARIA album charts and went on to achieve platinum sales. Butler took a brief break after five years of solid work since 1997 for the birth of his daughter Banjo.
Sunrise Over Sea
editIn late 2003, John Butler enteredWoodstock Studiosin Melbourne owned byJoe Camilleri,the leader ofJo Jo Zepandthe Black Sorrows.He had a new band consisting of percussionistNicky Bombaand upright-bass playerShannon Birchall.After recording the album, Bomba returned to his own reggae band and was replaced by drummer/percussionistMichael Barker.
John Butler told the Australian edition ofRolling Stonereleased in April 2004 that he wanted greater freedom to pursue his vision. "Essentially what I learnt out of this process was, more so than ever, I'm the keeper of the music. I have the intuition and the foresight to pick the right players to my music. I've learned it's not always about having the same players for five, six or 10 years, it's having the right chemistry for these songs at this time. Some of my favouriteJimi Hendrixmusic is off-the-cuff stuff withBand of Gypsies."[This quote needs a citation]
The titleSunrise Over Seais taken from the lyrics to the second track, Peaches and Cream. The album debuted at number one in the national album charts on 15 March 2004 and achieved gold record status in its first week of release.
TheZebraEP was released in December 2003 and made the ARIA singles charts in early 2004.

John stated in his announcement;
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.
