From the cold rocky ground of the Appalachians, across the stunning brackish waters of the Chesapeake Bay to the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean, this is my home. A canvas I sometimes use to paint pictures of this southern most point of the northeast megalopolis. Its cities, countrysides and people are the fountain of my inspiration as is often evident in my lyrics. Maryland, at the heart of it all is nick- named America in the Miniature which refers to its rich mixture of mountains, flatlands, wetlands and countless waterways. Throughout the seasons I travel from the eastern panhandle of West Virginia to Ocean City, Maryland performing solo and with The Mike Butler Trio, featuring Rick Jones on bass guitar and John Jernigan on drums. It's a good time wether we're showcasing originals or doing a full night of barroom covers. www.hammersawmusic.com
