John Butler brings the house down as he performs at Bluesfest Melbourne ahead of embarking on his first solo North American Tour
Beloved Australian/American folk singer John Butler set the stage alight at Bluesfest Melbourne on Saturday.
The crooner, 48, played a solo set without his famous trio at the inaugural music festival, which is an off-shoot of the popular Byron Bay Bluesfest.
Dressed in a striped short-sleeved shirt, pin-stripe tuxedo vest and blue jeans, Butler was the epitome of bohemian style.
He completed his look with unusual earrings, a bracelet, rings and a mop of wavy blond hair.
The ARIA award-winner played a combination of famous songs from his days in trio, as well as some of his newer music.
