John Butler Announces New Trio Members

John Butler is proud to announce the new line up to the ever-evolving John Butler Trio. Australian musician Nicky Bomba will feature as the new drummer and percussionist. Nicky has been a prominent member of the Melbourne music scene with his band Bomba and is a prolific songwriter, performer and producer in his own right. Nicky was also the principle drummer on JBT's five times platinum album 'Sunrise Over Sea'.
 
Sydney musician Byron Luiters will feature as the new bass player. Byron is a talented dynamic bassist who has been a member of the Sydney outfit Ray Mann Three.

John, Nicky and Byron commenced recording of the new studio album in early June and are thrilled with progress so far.
 
 John Butler said today, "Over the last twelve years of the JBT, I have been blessed with some amazing individuals. All have left their legacy and have raised the musical bar of the band. With any new incarnation it has always been an honor and challenge to meet the benchmark the band has achieved artistically and take it to the next level. It's great to be playing with Nicky again and Byron brings a whole new level of melody, funk and Mojo to the Trio. Very exciting times."
