Artist Name:  Sam Butler
Hometown: Essex, UK

What project(s) are you currently working on?

Working on releasing a couple of Singles, starting with ‘No mountains’ and then an EP further down the line. I recorded initially with the intent to release an Album but decided against it.

What inspired you to pursue a career in music and when did you know?

The moment someone had a genuine connection to a song I wrote, I thought then perhaps I could maybe do this thing.

If you weren’t pursuing a career in music, what would you be doing for a living?

As much as I would love to be paying bills with music spoils right now, that’s just not the case so I am an Electrical Engineer as well as musician but If I was not in pursuit of a career in music, I’d still be in the Military.

What is your favorite downtime activity?

If I’m not doing anything to do with music, I’m spending time with my Wife and kids.

Willow Avalon

Who is your favorite sports team(s)?

I don’t have one! I like sport, extreme sport and motorsport just don’t have a team

What is the last movie that you watched?

Warfare

What is the last album you listened to?

Cold beer and Country Music – Zach Top

If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Purgatory – Tyler Childers

What is the greatest country song of all time?

There are so many it’s impossible to choose the Greatest, however I personally think John Denver’s ‘Take Me Home Country Roads’ is definitely up there. It’s known around the world and I think whether your home is West Virginia or somewhere else wherever that may be, it takes you home.

What has been your favorite city/town that you’ve visited out on the road?

I haven’t yet toured ( as a musician ).  But I would love to do a little tour in Texas.
