Butter

Butter is Brad Newell’s funky rock trio centered around a healthy blend of original songs along with some of your favorite classics. With Dylan Scherr on drums and Alan Hardison on bass, together they hold down a rhythm section that wraps itself around Brad’s songs. We specialize in great songs, a great live show, and a group sound defined by a guitar/keyboard hybrid called The Gorgan. We’ve released our first CD, and we’re already getting airplay on several internet radio stations. Influences: Lee Micheals/Big Organ Trio/BlackKeys. Recent venues played: 2nd Wind/Fat FroggThe Station//Blind Tiger/Imurj/Pour House/Compass Rose Brewery/Carrboro Music Festival(four years in a row). Members of the band have either played with or shared the stage with such artists as Suzanne Vega, Burning Spear, Derek Trucks, Alex Chilton, Living Color, Cowboy Junkies, Adrian Belew (King Crimson), and many others.
