Charles Butler on SoundBetter

I'm a banjo player living and working in Nashville, TN. I have a humble home studio where I run Logic and track with a Neumann TLM102 and a Grace m201mk2 preamp. Let's make some music!

    Charles is an excellent banjo player with a true passion for the instrument. This time he created a Duelling Banjos-type riff. Highly recommended!

    Charles is the best in the west, or the east? I'm not sure where he's from but he's such a pleasure to work with. I will most definitely be working with him again in the near future.
