Butch Walker is a man who wears many hats. As a recording artist, he’s been in several bands including 80s rockers Bad Boyz and Byte the Bullet (SouthGang), Floyds Funk Revival, The Floyds, and the Marvelous 3. Flying solo he released two albums, 2002’s Left of Self-Centered and Letters in 2004. Most recently, Butch put out an album with his backing band titled The Rise and Fall of Butch Walker and the Let’s-Go-Out-Tonites.
