The Builders and the Butchers have been known to take their wild rumpus of a show out into the streets to jam with the people. Channeling almost every form of early American music, The Butchers have refined their sound and escaped the confines of Portland, OR to bring musical salvation to the rest of world. When the party gets hot, there isn't a person in the crowd who doesn't want to grab an instrument and play along. Fortunately, The Butchers learned to share at a young age and brought enough for everyone.
