Acclaimed for their brilliant live performances and superb musicianship, the John Butler Triois one of the most successful Australian ensembles on the current world music scene. The trio in 2018 expanded with the addition of two members in the form of John Butler Trio +.After a successful tour of Australia with the new live show, European audiences will also be treated to a larger and more dynamic live show, based on tracks from the new album and a reinterpretation of great classics such as Betterman, Zebra and What You Want.
The next studio album, the first since Flesh + Bloodwhich won the ARIA in 2014, is a very personal creation of songs that reflect everyday thoughts, family and travel. About the new project, John Butler says: "This album has been a rite of passage that I couldn't go around, couldn't go over , couldn't go under but had to go THROUGH"..
Between sinuous harmonies, inspired rhythms and intense grooves, Bobby Alu's music has the great ability to penetrate the subconscious and take over. The singer and drummer, as well as skilled with the ukulele, returns with a new single, Move, the first since his debut EP Bay Session in 2015. Alu is a proponent of calm, delivering vibes with a gentle, if energetic optimism with the rhythms of traditional Samoan wooden drums and the vitality of his songwriting.
