JOHN BUTLER TRIO CELEBRATE ALBUM RELEASE WITH VIDEO FOR ‘TELL ME WHY’ COMPLETING VIDEO QUADRILOGY
Landing at midnight last night, John Butler Trio’s new album HOME looks to be the Western Australian singer/songwriter’s seventh hit record, seeing off stiff competition and sitting comfortably high on the itunes charts just several hours after release.
To celebrate HOME’s release, John Butler has released a video for the album track ‘Tell Me Why’, completing a quadrilogy of videos from the album including the first single ‘Home’, the current single ‘Just Call’ and fan favourite ‘Wade In the Water’.
The Coming HOME Tour which hits six states and territories through January and February 2019 went on sale last week, with a second Sydney Opera House Forecourt show announced and many shows close to capacity.
John will be joined by his friend Missy Higgins and singer songwriter Stella Donnelly, as well as special guests in each city including Dan Sultan, The Waifs, The Teskey Brothers and Baker Boy.
HOME was released globally this morning and takes listeners through an emotive sonic landscape, mirroring the vulnerabilities, joys and tensions of modern life that have shaped the last four years forJohn Butler.
“What you’re hearing is the destination but getting here felt like an odyssey; some rite of passage that I couldn’t go around, couldn’t go over, couldn’t go under; I had to go through. This album is my most personal work yet and it feels like taking it on the road to connect with fans directly is the final act of delivering this body of work,” said John Butler. “This album touches on the anxieties and demons I’ve been grappling with since the last album, but it’s also full of joy, hope and redemption, and I’m looking forward to conveying the stories and passion of all of this journey one on one live with fans.
The album HOME is available now on CD, vinyl, download and streaming from: https://JohnButlerTrio.lnk.to/HOMEalbum
