Description

BROTHERS Concert Series presents South African-born guitarist Jonathan Butler The BROTHERS Concert Series continues with internationally-acclaimed artist Jonathan Butler. A South African-born guitarist, Jonathan Butler, is a hugely popular performer known for his crossover blend of R&B, pop-jazz fusion, and worship music. Jonathan’s story begins at a very young age when his father presented him with a homemade one-string guitar. Little did his father realize that he was giving way to a musical phenomenon. From then on, Jonathan’s musical gifts grew by leaps and bounds. In his early teens Butler won a local talent contest, affording him the opportunity to perform with a touring musical company throughout South Africa. On occasion he would perform at lavish concert halls for whites only, where he would not be allowed to use the bathroom, and the very next night he would perform in a dilapidated local township. Ultimately, his ticket to a new life was music. At thirteen, Jonathan’s talents caught the eyes and ears of the British record producer Clive Caulder. He was signed to Caulder’s Jive Records and the rest is history. Jonathan’s first single broke down racial barriers becoming the first song by a black artist played by white radio stations in South Africa and won the South African equivalent to a Grammy®. His commitment to his craft came to fruition with his self-titled debut album, which received a Grammy® nomination for the pop hit “Lies.” An instrumental “Going Home” earned him another Grammy® nomination and the mid-tempo ballad “Sarah, Sarah” confirmed Butler’s place in popular music. Butler will entertain guests on Sept 9th and 10th with two performances each night at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., as well as 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Sept 11th. Sessions occur upstairs in "The Loft."
