Description

Singer, songwriter, producer, and rock 'n' roll shapeshifter Butch Walker joins Kat Lively for a wide-ranging conversation that dives into the heart of his ever-evolving artistry. From his Southern roots and early days in bands like Marvelous 3 to producing for the likes of Pink, Taylor Swift, and Green Day, Butch shares stories from the road, the studio, and everywhere in between. We talk about the making of LettersAfraid of Ghosts, and his cinematic, deeply personal albums that blur the lines between music and memoir. Butch opens up about loss, resilience, reinvention—and why the most lasting work always starts with honesty. A rich, reflective look at the power of melody, memory, and staying true in an industry built on illusion.
