Jonathan is the product of the Western World. At thirteen, Jonathan's talents caught the ears and eyes of British record producer Clive Caulder. He was signed to Caulder's Jive Records and as the old cliche goes, the rest is history. Jonathan's first single broke down racial barriers, becoming the first song by a black artist to be played by white radio stations in South Africa. Because Jive was headquartered in England, Jonathan decided to move there to focus on his recording career. His commitment to his craft paid off with his self-titled debut album, which received a Grammy nomination for the pop hit "Lies." Jonathan's ability to blend his roots in African music with western pop sensibilities would be a trademark of many albums to follow, though never more refined than in his latest release. For example, the first single from Jonathan is a rendition of the folk-rock classic "Fire and Rain." Butler breathes new life into this classic, infusing the vocals with intensity, as subtle as it is powerful. The musical arrangement is lively and soulful, indicative of his roots in World music. "Fire and Rain" is already garnering accolades from top radio programmers. Lori Lewis, program director for WSMJ in Baltimore states, "It literally gave me a lump in my throat. I walked into the studio and introduced it live on air. Vocals this great are really rare."

The 3 bands were all great Ringo set the tone with his energy and interaction with the crowd. LIRA testimony and stage performance was a moving Moment . The Main artist Jonathan Kenneth Butler and his US band was Phenomenal and really spoiled us with a few extra songs .
Sandton Convention Centre Sandton, South AfricaIt was so awesome to see Mr Jonathan Butler his wife and group perform !! Thank you 🙏🏾 to whomever is responsible for putting on the best free concerts in San Ramon, California. It reminds me of the free concerts that KkSF 103.7 would sponsor back in the 1990s .
City Center Bishop Ranch San Ramon, CAWe love, love, love Mr. J Butler. The venue was nice and quaint but I thought it was too small for a man of his caliber. Wasn’t advertised well in my opinion but was great for us because we were close enough to feel the spit. BRING JB BACK PLEASE
Raleigh Improv Cary, NCThe music was awesome but the set up was disappointing. The seating was not as expected and no one seemed to know where we were seated. It wasn't organized and the lines to get drinks was super slow and long. There wasn't a variety a food either.
Science Museum of Virginia Richmond, VAThe concert was great the venue not so. Would give 5 stars but somehow app won’t allow it. JB is always super. Great singer awesome person! Highly recommend but bring you own food and wine since they ran out of both!
