Butler, Blake & Grant

A new British pop and rock supergroup including members from Suede and Teenage Fanclub

This recently formed musical union  features Teenage Fanclub’s frontman Norman Blake, Suede’s Bernard Butler, and James Grant from Love and Money. Together they perform heartfelt, original songs with quietly yearning vocals and soothing, harmonising guitars.

They became an entity when Douglas MacIntyre of FRETS Concerts invited them to perform a low-key concert in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, guessing that they would work well together. From there, the trio performed all over the UK and recorded a critically acclaimed album of original material at Norman Blake’s home on the banks of the River Clyde.

For their latest album, Murmurs, the trio reassembled at Norman’s studio to capture the original premise for the very early shows they played: three guitars, three voices, and selections from three extraordinary song catalogues. The first track to be released is ‘Lonely Night’, written by Blake, which initially appeared as a bonus track on Teenage Fanclub’s 2010 album ‘Shadows’.
