John Butler Trims Trio
A press release issued today states: "John has thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the last 6 years touring and recording with Michael and Shannon and for purely artistic reasons, feels that it is necessary to change the line up.
"John Butler would like to publicly acknowledge the amazing contribution that Michael and Shannon have made over these last years, and wishes them well in their future musical and personal endeavours."
Barker and Birchall's final shows include the sold-out 'Fire and Flood Benefit' in Adelaide, Melbourne's Chill City festival, and the East Coast Blues And Roots Festival in Byron Bay.
Their last ever performance will be at the West Coast Blues and Roots Festival in Fremantle on 18 April.
John Butler said: "Michael and Shannon have been by far the best line up I have performed with in The John Butler Trio to date. They have been a pleasure to live, love, learn, record and tour with. Their professionalism, musicianship, and commitment have been unwavering and for that and a whole lot more I am truly thankful."
