The latest album entitled April Uprising came from a journey John Butler undertook for the ‘Who Do You Think You Are’ TV series. Prominent Melbourne musician Nicky Bomba of Bomba fame and principal drummer on Sunrise Over Sea joined the band on drums and percussion, as did bass player Byron Luiters from Sydney outfit Ray Mann Three. In June 2009, a new line up of the ever evolving John Butler Trio emerged. They then released Three in 2001, Sunrise Over Sea in 2004 and Grand National in 2007, all of which were certified platinum. The John Butler Trio was formed in 1998 when Butler was joined by Gavin Shoesmith on bass and Jason McGann on drums, and by the end of that year had recorded their debut album John Butler.

Butler began playing guitar at the age of sixteen, and by 1996 started his career as a busker in Fremantle, Western Australia. He moved to the small Western Australian town of Pinjarra in January 1986, when he was eleven.

John Butler was born on Apin Torrance, California, to an Australian father and American mother. Apart from their little-known debut album, all of their releases have been on Jarrah Records, co-owned by Butler and The Waifs. Having developed a great reputation as a live act, the band have also released three live albums. They have independently released five studio albums, the last three of which debuted at #1 in Australia, and have had eight Top 40 singles.
