JOHN BUTLER "Still Searching" CD

Official Street Date: November 1st, 2024

ONE OF AUSTRALIA’S MOST ICONIC MUSICIANS MOVES INTO HIS SECOND SEASON

Global guitar sensation and multiple ARIA Award winning icon, John Butler began his recording career after busking instrumentals on his 11-string guitar. With the connection to his instruments and what they can communicate still firmly in place, it’s fitting that the next album from one of Australia’s premier alternative songwriters and storytellers is a return to an instrumental album, aptly titled ‘Still Searching’ and available on November 1. 

TRACKLIST:

1) Banjo Loop

2) Celt Blues 

3) East & West

4) Remembrance 

5) Running to Keep Up

6) Sunrise 

Representing the middle of a cycle, ‘Still Searching’ is the second season in what Butler describes as ‘Four Seasons’. 

Collectively the ‘Four Seasons’ are a prolific body of work – four albums that ironically began after a somewhat existential crisis, and have evolved into Butler delving back into his origins in instrumental music to heal during the first season (with the recently released ‘Running River’ ambient album), to begin again (with the ‘Still Searching’ album), to go solo with the third album in 2025 and following that to go full circle with a new band and new album. The process is like a rebirth for Butler.
