Jeff Butcher

The next Gem City Sessions is up! Gem City Sessions are candid field recordings of Music in the Miami Valley. Live, off the cuff candid takes of songs from here. We went to a trail along the Little Miami near my house with some old Sycamore trees, (one of my favorite ones infact, which I am certain is a domicile for a family of particularly fancy racoons). It was hot, buggy, and we had a grand old time. Sometimes we have to search for songs, Sometimes songs happen to find us. “Xeniatown” is an off-the-cuff version of a song about sudden change, possibility in an uncertain future, the things we hold on to. and a song still in a state of final adjustments. A scene in a diner, like any other diner, in a small but proud Midwestern town, like so many out here. Not sure what to do with this one. Enjoy!

Who’s ready for the second song from Jeff Butcher’s session?

“Xeniatown” dropping on Saturday!

Still feeling the energy from the show from Saturday. Grateful to get to sing good songs in the company of good friends that work on their craft. Some shows are truly special. Thanks to South Park Tavern for letting us play!

Huge congrats to everyone who played in the Country/Bluegrass/Folk week at Dayton Battle of the Bands!! A great show all around. Thanks to Venus Child Productions and Sound Valley, the sound engineers, and The Brightside Music & Event Venue & Jordan Lynn Freshour for capturing the moments.
