John Butler Trio - Funky Tonight (Ottawa Guerilla Busk)

John Butler Trio was scheduled to play at the Ottawa Bluesfest on Sunday but a storm hit the city, knocking down the stage and cancelling the event.. SO on Monday JBT posted online they'd be playing a "Guerilla Busk" in Confederation park in Ottawa.
This is JBT performing "Funky Tonight" Such an awesome thing for them to do for their Fans!

11 years and I'm still here!😄

[@gimmickmusic8827]

I actually think that this performance is incredible. It shows a connection between the artist and fans. Something that you don't get to see very often.

[@wesleygalvin9983]

I hit the LIKE button before I even watched it...... Thank you John Butler and band.

[@nicolagiuseppe]

I love thus guy! He inspired me to pick up guitar and slide

[@vividserenity]

This just makes him so much better of a person and musician genuinely. So much more respect for him because of this. I also happen to listen to metal music and the last show I bought tickets for the main band I went to go see didn't show b/c their van "slid off the road" (I don't buy it - last show of the tour etc). Anyway for a musician to go out of their way and still play is extremely commendable. And he is very talented technically and charismatic. KUDOS!!!!

[@SpaceMan1026]

He and the bad are amazing at signing autographs, taking pics, etc. Bumped into them at a pub after a DMB show, which they were opening, and they were awesome! Very chill guys - my wife and I actually drank the night away with Byron and his guitar tech. Hooked us up with tickets for a few additional shows from their tour, signed my guitar, etc. Again, great guys - real fan friendly, as at the end of the day, they too are just fans - fans of the music! Great footage...

[@smashyourface1n]

forgive me for no knowing of john butler sooner but, WOW!!! For me, they have captured the purest, most beautiful music i have ever heard. i love some of the angriest music out there, but these guys give me hope that the world hasn't lost sight of whats really important in life... such energy, passion, emotion... so simple, yet perfect. just what i needed in my life. thanks for making my life better

[@probynmeister]

nothing better than jamming to music... was in morocco ... in the back of a car with my mate.. a beat going on... and had a clapping jam sesh.. when u got that music high.. nothing beats it :))

[@alfalfaoooo]

[@beeboy067]

[@roandco1979]

If you ever get the chance to see these guys live, GO! I took my 3 year old to one of their live performances in the rainforest of Kuranda and the music, energy and vibe was amazing! His wife Mama Kin is equally amazing...ridiculously talented family :)

[@InvestingforHumans]

The recession has really hit the John Butler Trio hard

[@lehqx]

[@SweetSanityX]

[@NinoDamb]

great!!

[@Ghadene]

trumpet solo rocks!

[@ecthel777]

muy bueno!

[@Amazistringsmusic]

Just to clarify - the woman and man behind Byron and John are NOT his wife and brother-in-law. His wife is Daniella, she has dark hair. Also known by her artist name 'Mama Kin'. His brother-in-law Nicky Bomba (Daniella's brother) is the drummer of the Trio, and i do not see him in this video. However, this is a great video - i really love this.

[@Amazistringsmusic]

I thought he did look a little like Nicky hah. Thanks for telling me!

[@augustepodeur1954]

You are wrong and right. I agree the woman is not John Butler's wife. However, the man is Daniella's other brother and so Nicky Bomba's brother and John Butler's brother in law. His name is Michael Caruana and he is a pianist. He is a member of Bomba (His brother's band) and Melbourne Ska Orchestra (also directed by his brother).

[@Amazistringsmusic]

Thank you for the clarification!

[@MockinGlobes]

Look at this multi-million dollar record label owner just playing on the streets for free. One of the very few decent rich people in the world.

[@delievisonrt201280]

Muito bom!!!

[@teresaauseronmarruedo843]

wow!

[@MaracuJah]

Que paródia boa.... Um dia faço o mesmo num coreto perto de si. ;)))

[@lotus2thrdeye]

@NichlasNorlander I know the guy is his brother in law. She might be his sister in law.

[@desmondsparrs]

fucking awesome!

[@a.c.1372]

lov'yaguys xoxo

[@Aldragor101]

life's not about what's better... than :P completely agree with you though! I listen to some really heavy shit. Lamb of God, Whitechapel, all kind of (good) metal. But John is one of my favourite artists of all time, hands down!

[@CThut]

bass soloooooo!

[@wateringcan2]

That faux trumpet is fantastic.

[@igormascarenhas]

What should I do when I fell more than a simple "Like" ?

[@guillotinaa]

DIOSAAAAAA la ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee whoooh

[@mrpeanutbutter6817]

Beeboy067 Not to belittle the always fuckin' great John Butler Trio, but actually a lot of musicians can play their songs.

[@tied78]

Did he sign autographs after he was finished

[@rui4ever1]

mega like !!

[@jhunter2662]

goes without saying that guy plays drums haha. hes on time pretty well

[@ConorBredin]

my question is 'who is the squeaky beat boxer at the back?!'

[@marcrayner7794]

That’s The brother-in-law Michael Caruana A great muso in his own right

[@dennisferguson1029]

Marc Rayner I think he was referring to the girl who is beat boxing

[@AnnAScolaro290]

the percussionist is my father!!

[@Lemmecommentazhul]

Whoops forgot my trumpet at home!

[@JackSamps]

How many lsd's this girl took?

[@slashy04]

lold so hard at rappers delight!

[@confoozled3737]

Sounds like he's quoting "Glide" by Pleasure. Oh, lordy.

[@panxokox]

is john's brother in law

[@nerdalert12345]

thats his brother in law, and his wife :D

[@TheMikoras]

3:26 background magic dragon

[@annemariepluggejva]

😂👍

[@jamier8260]

what's the bassline byron starts playing during the beatbox solo?

[@Sevenigma]

rappers delight!

[@jamier8260]

cheers!

[@confoozled3737]

It's actually "Good Times" by Chic, sampled by the Sugarhill Gang in "Rapper's Delight".

[@panxokox]

don't know but man she's funny!! hahahahaha

[@ievgenartemov4047]

умеют делать шоу

[@SpicyWarWorm]

well he's a busker, that's kinda what he does :p

[@beeboy067]

Can I increase the like counter by 100,000?

[@AnnAScolaro290]

hahahaha, no he isn't! But he looks like him in an impressive way! Even my father recognized himself in the percussionist! ;)

[@griffithhoungdog]

fucking clapping completely ruined the guitar for me and i know how good he is at guitar so its kind of a bummer

[@MrShredderX]

girl on drugs ahahahaha

[@smashyourface1n]

Still get goose bumps

[@smashyourface1n]

If you enjoy this set, I just recently found some videos from The Lumineers titled "take away show" where they play at a bar in San Francisco, then they take it to the streets, and finally to a roof top. Same sort of good spirit, soul, whatever you'd like to call it. Truly amazing music. Check it out

[@smashyourface1n]

@PuTs81 if you're looking for a good album by JBT, "live at Red Rocks" is AMAZING!!! "Live at St. Gallon" is pretty damn good too

[@smashyourface1n]

No shit Sherlock! Good detective work

[@smashyourface1n]

I call bullshit on the top comments!!! mine has over 70 thumbs up... wtf
