Buzzing Muster after Butcher’s blind audition

Appearing on The Voice just a day before the Muster began, Brad Butcher was excited to play his new music at the Gympie Music Muster on Sunday 25 August.

The Mackay born, Central Queensland, independent singer-songwriter and musician, with two Golden Guitars under his belt came to the Muster off the back of his recent television appearance on the Voice on Wednesday 21 August.

After his wife and kids signed up to him, his blind audition aired on Wednesday showcasing his rendition of Bruce Springsteen’s I’m on fire.

“I did another television show back in 2008 and after that, I had seen behind the veil and never thought I’d do it again,” said Mr Butcher.

“But it worked out really well, we turned all four chairs, so we’ll see how we go.

“I’ve played the song heaps of times, I actually recorded it on my first album in 2012, so it felt fitting.”

Despite his excitement for the Voice, Brad was keen to get himself on stage at the Great Northern Muster Club.

“You’re locked in the forest with each other and you’re surrounded by good people, good music, you can’t go wrong really,” said Brad

“I think it’s a country music thing in general but you always get a friendly crowd.”

Brad released a new album in September last year called East of Everything that made up a large portion of his set, but also said he is currently recording and working on new music hoping to do another release later in the year.
