It is with incredible sadness that we have to announce the death of the great Butch Coulter, truly a giant of music. Our hearts go out to his wife Vessela and their lovely daughters.
Nearly thirty years on the road and in the studio together, and he could still amaze me every night.
I’m honoured that his last performance was at my 80th birthday.
We are lucky to have had this wonderful, talented, humble and funny man in our lives, though much too short…
We are now trying to deal with a world without this ‘Close Companion of the Blues’.

Here are a few memories of the wonderful moments we shared with Butch, a musical genius who touched us with his kindness, humility, humor, and above all, his immense talent.
