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!

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.

    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.

    Needed a banjo part for an instrumental piece I've been working on. Sent over the song, lead sheet, and some notes... Charles had a perfect take back to me in just a few days. Thanks so much! I would highly recommend hiring him for your recording.

    Charles is awesome. He recorded a banjo part for an original song and captured the feels and essence of the song beautifully. Great communication with Charles and he was always very responsive. A real pro!
