Butch brings over 20 years of playing experience to the band. Growing up he would sit for hours listening to Country Radio favorites such as Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Hank Jr, Buck Owens, George Jones, and Dwight Yoakum. He is also inspired by modern artists; Brad Paisley, Jamey Johnson, Eric Church, Jason Aldean and of course George Strait and Alan Jackson!
When he had the chance he would absorb all he could from local bands and drummers. He believes you can learn something from everyone. He is most influenced by Jeff Russ, Scott Strunk, Bill Matlack, Neil Braunstein, Ray and Randy Cramer, and ultimately his father Butch Sr.
Other interests include dirt track modified racing, Nascar, 4 wheeling, running, working out, and Dallas Cowboys football.
Butch is proud to be a member of Crazy-Hearts Band. He plays with a kick and plays from the heart and he would like to thank all his family and friends for their support and everyone that ever gave him a chance to play.
Butch gives special thanks to his mother, father, and GOD.
