Today, Australia’s highest selling independent artist of all time, John Butler shares the second installment in a 3-part video series for album track “Wade In The Water” (forthcoming album HOME out September 28 via Because Records).
Directed by Nick Mckk, produced by longtime collaborator Kester Sappho and filmed in one continuous shot, the video features Butler and son Jahli skateboarding through the streets of rural Australia. While the first video for title track “Home” showed the competing elements of life on the road and being away from family, the latest chapter captures the uninhibited feeling of cruising indefinitely through uninterrupted, open roads without the distractions and limitations of modern life.
“Wade in the water is one of my favorite songs off of this album. It’s a soul searching proclamation and a journey back to myself. The words just kinda fell out and I didn’t really know what they meant for a long time until I stood back and took a look at the song and the passage of time I’d just been through. This song celebrates my love for Led Zeppelin, Hip Hop back beat, Indian classic music and is one of my favorite songs to play live ” - John Butler
Fans who’ve seen a John Butler Trio gig over recent months - including the recent sold-out show at Denver’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre - have already been treated to sneak previews of some new songs. Following the album’s release, the band will perform the new album to audiences in Australia, Japan, Europe and North America (see dates below).
The John Butler Trio is guitarist/vocalist John Butler, bassist Byron Luiters and percussionist Grant Gerathy. They will be joined by percussionist / vocalist Lozz Benson and Keyboard/ vocalist Ben Corbett for the upcoming album tour.
