ABOUT SONS OF THE GOLDEN WEST
Sons of the Golden West plays indie rock with varying shades of down-to-earth Americana and more dreamy undercurrents.
"Punch Drunk Moon," a collection of 10 instrumentals, arrived in January 2020. The album was played on more than 50 radio stations and made the chart at three of them. It was preceded by the six-song EP, “Oh, California!” in 2016.
"Eric Butterfield leads this project with a diversity that has been uber-useful to film/TV folks. Easy to imagine his song fragments enhancing any flick."
SOTGW began as a performing band, releasing its debut self-titled album in 2006. Today, it is a recording project led by Eric Butterfield, whose music has appeared in more than 300 TV show episodes.
Eric is inspired by the wide variety of the American experience and its unique styles of music. Eric is a fourth-generation Californian who grew up in the Los Angeles area, absorbing the heritage of a continuously changing landscape.
