I highly recommend John Butler or the John Butler trio as live entertainment for any concert. It was a great atmosphere to be a part of, and John Butler and his Trio helped facilitate this very well. We all loved the music but we also loved just having fun to the beat. Something about it felt like just letting off steam and having fun with friends. It was very cathartic in both the music and just the show itself. Everyone clapped and moved around to the music. The audience found the whole show quite compelling and fun. I also loved that they had big band instruments in the mix and not just rock guitars, drums, and keyboards. But they also rocked hard and had more to offer than just that. It was interesting to see a country twang sound come from Australians. They performed the fun and funny song "Treat Yo Mama" and it was a lively, upbeat, fun performance. It was an excellent performance and John is an excellent performer. I was lucky enough to see Australian singer John Butler live at Crossroads as part of the John Butler Trio.
