Comedian and musician Todd Butler will be in Williams Lake next month to entertain guests attending the 2015 Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards Gala March 14.
Butler has been a guest host of CBC Radio’s Madly Off in All Directions, and has performed at the Montreal International Jazz Festival, Winnipeg Comedy Festival on CBC TV, at the Vancouver Comedy Festival and at the Calgary Folk Festival, to name a few.
A veteran of more than 30 years of live performing Butler swings easily from lambasting politicians in hilarious political parodies to interpreting the latest news stories with a twist guaranteed to entertain you with a stunning combination of musical parody, whimsical wit, outstanding musicianship, and outrageous satire.
In concert, Butler gets musical too, showing audiences why his 2003 instrumental CD, dobro and guitar (with Doug Cox) was picked as one of the year’s top ten by Acoustic Guitar Magazine.
His 2006 release, Idle Canadian, won the Vancouver Island Music Awards, CD of the Year, and he took home Song of the Year and Songwriter of the Year honours.
The 2015 Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards are coming up March 14 at the Elks Hall.
