GERALD ALBRIGHT’S ALBRIGHT S LONE TREE SESSIONS

JONATHAN BUTLERR FRIDAY AY, SEPTEMBER 24 AT AT 8PM

Ever since boyhood, Butler has been using his gifts of song, composition, and instrumentation to communicate the m messages of his soul. Butler, an acclaimed guitarist and vocalist, has used m music as a springboard from that boyhood in which he shared a three-bedroom shack with his parents, 12 siblings, and another 13 nieces and nephew ws while growing up in South Africa. Known for his crossover blend of R& &B, pop-jazz fusion, and worship music, he remains a captivating and powerful performer, pouring his heart into selections from his immense catalogue e. His soaring, gritty but beautiful voice transports listeners to deeper realms both emotionally and spiritually.
