BUTCH WALKER @ ANGELS AND KINGS

The amazingly talented Butch Walker premiered three songs from his upcoming album, Sycamore Meadows, at a private party at New York City’s Angels & Kings on October 23.

Taking the stage armed only with his trusty acoustic guitar, the singer-songwriter performed “The Weight Of Her” (the album’s first single), “Here Comes The…” and “Going Back/Going Home.”

“Going Back/Going Home” was the best song of the trio Walker debuted. The tune features a quirky rap in the middle in which Butch sums up the first 38 years of his life—from being born in 1969 in the suburbs to losing his virginity to going to Hollywood at 19 with his first band Southgang to starting over with the “one hit wonder” Marvelous 3 to going solo. Brilliant!

For those not familiar with this musical mastermind…look him up fast!!! In addition to his own great music, he’s also written for and produced a ton of artists like Avril Lavigne, Pink, Fall Out Boy and Katy Perry as well as three of my personal favorite bands Bowling For Soup, SR-71 and American Hi-Fi.

Sycamore Meadows comes out November 11.
