John Butler Trio rising in popularity

A lot of my hits are coming from people searching for info in the John Butler Trio...sweet!

I was searching Google to keep up with how they are working their way up in American popularity, and found a bunch of articles on the Billboard.com--apparently they are breaking into the charts! Woo-hoo! I knew it was only a matter of time.

At the risk of sounding like a crazy JBT groupie (too late?)...you really need to go to a concert of these guys while you have the chance! They are playing small concerts now to build a fan base and this is the best time to see them. They are amazing musicians.

In America I stand right up next the the stage at a 150 person concert and watch John Butler jam on his 12 string and feed off of the drummer and the double bass player...I've gotten John Butler's autograph on the Zebra single, and talked to them...in Australia they play for 3,000 people. Even the last concert, a year after the experience I just described, there is less personal contact with the band.

Come on guys. If you have the chance to see JBT live you better take it!
