Piper Butcher

Piper Butcher plays the King Street Hotel on Sunday 4 October, with the show starting at 7:00 pm. It's a single-name bill, so she's the only act on the night.

Butcher is a singer-songwriter working in country and Americana, and that's exactly what she'll be bringing to the stage. If you're not familiar with the two, country is the heart of it — the storytelling, the acoustic guitar, the focus on the voice — and Americana is the broader umbrella that pulls in folk, bluegrass, and roots music. It's the kind of set that sits comfortably in a pub room: songs built around a melody and a lyric, played with a guitar and a voice, and not much else getting in the way.

Coming to the King Street Hotel, she'll be playing the venue's main room. It's a straightforward setup, with her as the sole feature of the evening, so the whole set is hers to fill. If you've got a thing for country and Americana, this is a good one to have on the radar.

It's on Sunday 4 October at the King Street Hotel, 15 Steel St, Newcastle, with the music starting at 7:00 pm.
