Butterfly Boucher

What you hear on the debut release is Butterfly throughout - aside from a bit of cello and some drum tracks on "Can You See the Lights?", "Never Let It Go", and "Soulback", which were tracked live while she answered on bass - she played every instrument on the album and arranged it from start to finish. It was the same demos that she brought to Interscope for her initial meetings that became the versions of the songs that eventually graced her album. The credits you see for co-producing simply acknowledge the trusted ears and opinions of her close musical allies, Robin Eaton (sage), and Brad Jones (co-producer/engineer).

Butterfly's story began with a bit of divine intervention. She was born the middle child of seven daughters to free-spirited, creatively-endowed, and very spiritual parents. Accordingly, her mother left the naming of her children to a higher power. Her older sister Sunshine was named for the light that streamed into the nursery on the morning of her birth. In Butterfly's case, her name was originally suggested by family friends, one of them a professional clown. Her mother wasn't taken with the name Butterfly and looked again for divine confirmation that this was a good way to go.
