Kaitlin Butts’s star rose in the land of honky-tonk. She’s a dynamic and fun performer with a beautiful mezzo-soprano voice, a sense of comic timing, and tremendous musical chops (her husband, Cleto Cordero, has a popular band she consistently performs with called Flatland Cavalry). Her music has just the right amount of steel guitar (important!) and hits just right, like a warm cup of coffee on a cold winter morning—spiked with some yummy bourbon, making the drinker want to tap their feet, sway and dance to the joy and pain that is ’Murica. Fancy Boy opens.
