John Butler has been one of Australia’s most successful independent musicians over the past quarter century. Much of that time he’s led the platinum selling John Butler Trio, three of whose albums hit number one on the Australian charts. Lately, he has been celebrating going solo, using his signature blend of rock, pop, folk, blues, and roots music. Butler’s new album, Prism, the third in his four album project, in which he continues to explore "what it is to be human: love, death, politics, inner and outer turmoil and redemption", (Billboard), comes out on September 5. John Butler and his band play a couple of the singles from the album, as well as on old fave, in-studio.

Set list: 1. Trippin On You 2. So Sorry 3. Zebra

The band Buscabulla began here in New York over a decade ago, when singer Raquel Berrios and multi-instrumentalist Luis Del Valle began making their sophisticated, electronically-tinged Latin pop together. The name Buscabulla loosely translates as “troublemaker,” though the only trouble they’ve caused is to people who’ve tried to pin down their music. Their songs have a dreamy pop atmosphere but often ride along on sturdy Caribbean rhythms. Elements of funk and experimental electronic music are also part of the mix. Now, Buscabulla is based in Puerto Rico, where they’ve collaborated with Bad Bunny and released two LPs, the latest one called Se Amaba Asi. They play some of these new tunes, in-studio.

New York indie-pop group Wet, sometimes melancholic, sometimes bright, and always soulful, has just released Two Lives, a memoir-ish bittersweet reflection on life’s major transitions, featuring some of vocalist Kelly Zutrau’s most accomplished songwriting yet. With deconstructed R&B elements, dreamy textures, and a lot of vulnerability, Wet plays some of their “their signature slow-burning electro-pop” (Chicago Reader) in the studio.

Set list: 1. Shut My Eyes 2. Double 3. Coffee In The Morning / Soon To Be Moon
