Matt Butcher - BIO
"In the evolving Matt Butcher phenomenon, the talent possessed by the auspicious local musician has never really been in question. But it wasn’t until the unveiling of his brand-new six-piece band, Matt Butcher & the Revolvers, March 29 at Back Booth that his genteel country aesthetic truly crystallized. What was once potential is now sterling, cogent actuality, and Butcher can at last be crowned the area’s Prince of Americana. This lush, outstanding performance shone for a shit-ton of reasons. For one, it had the full wingspan of a real ensemble effort, complete with pedal steel (woo-hoo!) and organ. Most important, the songs were there. Melodically precise and brimming with conviction, his music hasn’t come alive with such spirit since his days with the Heathens. Mark it now."
