One of the most underrated, undiscovered (other than in Australia) talents making music today is John Butler, with his trio, or by himself "unplugged." By all means you should read all about him right here.
Eileen and have been big fans for quite a long time. He is truly versatile as this excerpt from the Wiki page bears out:
Butler plays harmonica, didgeridoo, drums, lap-steel, banjo and amplified acoustic guitars and removes the higher octave G string on his 12-string guitar.[28][29] Butler prefers the Maton 12-string guitar and often uses a Seymour Duncan SA-6 Mag Mic pickup with a Marshall Amplification JMP Super Lead Head and a Marshall 4×12 cabinet. He uses a variety of electronic effects including distortion, reverb / delay and wah-wah pedal to achieve his unique sound.[30] Butler uses long, pointed acrylic fingernails for finger picking.So I know you've been waiting for a link to a performance, right? Try this one, a great "uplugged" effort. Ain't he the very essence of cool?
