Way out on the Western plains, you can see storms make their way across the horizon. Lightning strikes brighten darkened masses of fearsome clouds as they roll on down the line. They sway and swirl giving the promise of rain. They thunder and clap with threats of hail or worse.

Kaitlin Butts is a thunderstorm. A tornado warning. The siren wail of a small town’s caution system still in use. Behind her flowing locks of auburn hair, Oklahoma twang, and wry grin, grows a demanding voice and equally devastating storyteller. This high-rising Oklahoma native is steadily blooming into a quick-witted writer who has the ability to pick the right details to make a song and story believable and real.

She shifts between infectious Cosmic Cowgirl flare with lush desert-swept pastels, desired & heartfelt tearjerkers, and hard-bitten & calloused murder ballads. Through them all, she exhibits a knack for character and a nose for narrative. They come in like a summer shower patting down the dust. Other times, Butts is torrential downpour wreaking havoc.
"Great entertainer and singer."

"Great show. Great performance."

"Fantastic concert in a quiet venue where you could enjoy the artists new songs and stories. Kaitlin and Cleto compliment each other’s talents and personalities."
Kaitlin Butts shared the stage with Flatland Cavalry at the Whitewater Amphitheater. They continue across the United States with the last stop at the Braun Brothers Reunion in Challis, Indiana on August 12, 2021.
