Raising a Toast to Butch Walker’s Drinking with Strangers (PLUS New Tour Photos!)

“They gave us keys to the kingdom back when record deals were exorbitant, and we looted it dry. In the end, the only things left emptier than our bank accounts were our souls, as we would find out soon enough.”

In his memoir, Drinking with Strangers: Music Lessons from a Teenage Bullet Belt, Butch [...]

Butch Walker & The Black Widows – “Summer of ‘89″

Butch Walker’s “Summer of ‘89″ > Bryan Adam’s “Summer of ‘69.” Here’s why:

Grammy Love

I love the Grammy Awards for one reason above anything else: the performances.   Here are my top 5 favorite performances from this years award show.
5. The Zac Brown Band- I adore the ZBB because they are not your typical “Grammy” artists.  In a music world that’s all about selling sex in place of good music, it’s [...]

Letters Out Loud- Butch Walker at Joe’s Pub

Butch Walker is known to end his sets smothered by fans as he performs in the middle of the venue floor. During these moments, he’s either leading an acoustic campfire sing-along to the tune of “Take Tomorrow (One Day at a Time),” off his solo debut, Left of Self Centered, or he’s rocking out to [...]

Here Comes The….Video!

Butch Walker and our buds filmed a music video in Asbury Park. Check it out here.

This is the first in a series of segments we’re bringing you on the former Marvelous 3 frontman turned mega awesome solo artist/producer. Hop on the [...]

On the Verge: Chris Unck

We filmed On the Verge w/ Chris Unck yesterday and it was a hoot! You may know Chris as a guitarist for Butch Walker’s band. However, he also has his own musical project and I can’t seem to stop playing the songs. “Ruby…” is a favorite and you can hear it now at [...]

Butch Walker to Rescue Indie Rock from American Apparel

Just as indie rockstar wanna-be’s rip off Butch Walker’s songwriting style (and fail miserably), they too often steal his style.
Let’s not forget it was Walker, in his Marvlous 3 days, who first wore the skinny tie. Of course, at this point, the wanna-be rockstar local band boys were still a little slow. It took [...]

World, Meet Butch Walker

Butch Walker and Pink performed “Here Comes The…” off his new album, Sycamore Meadows, on Ellen today.

I’m really happy that he is finally where he should be- in the public eye for his own music. It may have taken tremendous loss (Google it if you don’t know), but this should bring a bit of [...]
