Familiar to local audiences for his appearances with saxophonist Dave Koz, singer-songwriter and guitarist Jonathan Butler is making his Palladium debut as a headliner. Born in South Africa and raised in poverty under the shadow of apartheid, Butler was the first non-white artist to be played on South African radio and appear on national television. His best-known songs include the Grammy-nominated Top 30 hit “Lies,” the instrumental “Going Home,” and the mid-tempo ballad “Sarah, Sarah.”
