The John Butler Trio are an Australian roots and jam band led by guitarist and vocalist John Butler, an APRA and ARIA-award winning musician. They formed in Fremantle in 1998 with Jason McGann on drums and Gavin Shoesmith on bass. By 2009, the trio consisted of Butler with Byron Luiters on bass and Nicky Bomba on drums and percussion, the latter being replaced by Grant Gerathy in 2013.
The band's second studio album, Three (2001) reached the top 30 in the Australian album charts and achieved platinum sales. The band's subsequent studio albums: Sunrise Over Sea (2004); Grand National (2007); and April Uprising (2010) all debuted at the number one position on the Australian album charts, with all three albums reaching platinum sales status. Living 2001–2002 (2003), the band's first live album, reached the top ten and also achieved platinum status in Australia. The band's second live album, Live at St. Gallen (2005), also achieved gold record status. The band's releases since 2002 have been marketed independently by Jarrah Records, which Butler co-owns with West Australian folk band the Waifs and manager of both acts, Philip Stevens. Their sixth studio album, Flesh & Blood, was released in February 2014.

Also a movie
Little man running around town - nothing more to say
Doing everything the same as you - did it yesterday
Young man, there because of what you were told to do
Your Dad and his friends all knew what was right for you
Why do my frustrations get
Under my skin, this mood that I'm in
Why do all my fears
Get thrown back in my face, there stuck in this place
And we want to be free
But we just can't see
We're lost inside
And we've all gone blind
Little man, sitting in your room got a box of clay
Lay it out, shape your thoughts 'cos it is the only way
Young man, please make what you want if it makes you smile
