The dreadlocks are gone, but the music remains
Near his residence in Fremantle on the western coast of Australia, natives refer to John Butler as the “Million Dollar Hippie” following the booming success of his own Australian-based record company, Jarrah Records.
Well before, though, his current American tour of his band, The John Butler Trio, with G. Love & Special Sauce and Tristan Prettyman, the usually outspoken “hippie” decided to ditch the dreads — as well as any type of political message. As he told the Northwest Arkansas Times recently, the Australian (by way of America) is letting his music do all the talking this time around. The article can be found here.
Butler’s band, along with the other two acts, will be stopping by the Arkansas Music Pavilion for a show Tuesday (Aug. 26) starting at 7 p.m. Tickets, which are $25, can be purchased at the AMP Web site.
