More On This Album

Over the five year history of The Builders and the Butchers, from their beginnings playing on rainy Portland, Oregon streets for random passersby, to the early unplugged Mississippi Pizza and Valentines’ shows, to the last three years of endless touring, the band has lived and died for its connection with the audience. Whether playing bar gigs for 50 people or opening arena shows for 3000, the band strives to connect with the audience, and for the audience to connect with one another, every time they take the stage. It’s that beyond anything else that keeps the Builders going.
