Butch Walker is the focus of the upcoming finale episode of the Ernie Ball series “The Pursuit of Tone“. Butch joins the wide variety of iconic musicians that have been featured in the series, including Buddy Guy, Billy Duffy, Mike Ness, Hunter Hayes and Tom DeLonge.
Female First have premiered the 3rd acoustic video from the deluxe edition of Fred Abbott‘s Serious Poke album. One Hot Night is one of three acoustic tracks recorded live in the studio, and captured on video, for the bonus tracks release. Fred commented:
Here’s the last of the live acoustic videos cut down in my basement studio. This time it’s everyone’s favourite Parisian party track “One Hot night”, in a more reflective stripped down setting. This is always great fun to play live. I’m looking forward to hitting the road for some shows with the full band in November supporting The Zombies. Hope to see some of you there!
Fred and his band will be supporting the legendary Zombies for a run of shows in early November:
- 01 NOV 2016 Aberystwyth, Arts Centre
- 02 NOV 2016 Aberdare, Coliseum Theatre
- 03 NOV 2016 Newbury, Arlington Arts Centre
- 09 NOV 2016 Bath, Komedia
The new Deluxe Edition of Fred’s debut solo album Serious Poke, with 6 bonus tracks, is out now!

Premiered at The Fader yesterday, Butch Walker has revealed another track from his forthcoming album, Stay Gold.
This is a song I’ve had brewing since the beginning of the Stay Gold album writing. Still one of my favorite songs to perform from the new record and it syncs up perfectly to The Wizard of Oz when you play it simultaneously. I’m also not telling the truth. Anyways, hope you enjoy “Wilder in the Heart”. Turn it up and drive into the sunset with this one. It sounds better that way. Plus, it was recorded with real bits of sunset, so you know it’s good…
Butch Walker’s new album Stay Gold will be available on a limited edition of 500 gatefold heavyweight gold vinyl LP, in addition to CD & digital. Lojinx direct pre-orders can also opt for an exclusive metallic-gold printed t-shirt bundle. Lojinx, iTunes and Amazon MP3 pre-orders include instant grat downloads of “Stay Gold”, “East Coast Girl”, “Descending” and “Ludlow Expectations”, with “Wilder in the Heart” added tomorrow (12th August).

Butch Walker explores what makes him tick as a guitar player and musician in the Ernie Ball “String Theory” series.
Let’s get into a New York State of mind for a minute. Wrote this one while walking around at 3am in the lower east side of one of my favorite cities that owns a part of my heart and a third of my liver. I will always be a sucker for “escape” songs. Except the actual song called “Escape” (The Piña Colada Song). Can you believe they actually had some record label asshole stand up at the marketing meeting and say, “I think it’ll be a bigger hit if we call it ‘Escape (The Piña Colada Song)'”…. Now every time I read that title, I picture some snarky music critic from 1979 moaning, “I WISH I could ‘Escape’ that ‘Piña Colada Song'”… Actually, I think it’s pretty awesome. He used the word “yoga” in a song. And that was way before it was super hip to be into yoga.
Anyway, here’s Wonderwall….
Enjoy “Ludlow Expectations” off of my new record Stay Gold.
