The BIO: A singer/songwriter, Butch was born in Huntington, West Virginia.  From a large family, dirt poor, they lived in Gimlet Hollow on the side of a hill in a house owned by his great grandmother.  Throughout his school years his mother was left to try and feed 7 children which were abandoned most of the time by their father who was a WWII Vet, with an alcohol problem.   With no electricity, no running water, and no indoor plumbing, about all they had for entertainment was their Mother’s guitar.

Butch still has the guitar, one of his prized possessions.   He played music in local bands until 2001, with some very successful tours and venues.  His talents were singing lead and harmony, playing rhythm guitar and some leads.  The music spanned from R & R to Southern Rock, Folk & Country.

These days, retired, his love of music, hard times, and good times inspires writing songs that are heartfelt, and mostly true, with a few embellishments.

Former Bands: The 7 Coachmen, The Few, Redeye, Mirage, & Streetcorner.

He is The Storyteller.
