* Joshua Butcher speaking about his influences?

“I have a pretty wide base when it comes to influence of music:
My favorite music is kinda folkish..country that showcases a vocal that is really soulful and passionate, like Patty Griffin, Joe Purdy, Ryan Adams, Neko Case, Caitlin Cary & Thad Cockrell and of couse Gillian Welch & David Rawlings.

I love it when there is some bluegrass feel put in music but not so much as to change the genre to bluegrass - like Alison Kraus & Union Station and NickelCreek.

I also LOVE strong acoustic goodness like: Jason Mraz, Damian Rice, Shawn Colvin and Jewel.

Other influences that must be mentiones are: Sheryl Crow, Sarah McLachlan, Dixie chicks, Patty Griffin(she need to be mentioned twice), Wilco, Peter Gabriel, Tragically Hip, Del Amitri, The Eagles,Tracy Chapman, 80s country music and a bunch more.”
