John Butler: Australian Uprising
Aussie guitarist John Butler just released his new
record with The John Butler Trio called April
Uprising. We recently sat down with Butler to talk
about how he crafted his tones on the new album,
how a ’30s Dobro fell into his lap, and why he hates
the higher octave G string on his 12-string guitars.
