Keep the Blues Alive: Support Oscar Butler’s Music Journey

Bring the "Smooth Like Gravy Gourmet Blues Show" to the Stage – and Beyond!

I’m Oscar Butler—award-winning performing songwriter, storyteller, and proud ambassador of the blues. My one-man show, Smooth Like Gravy Gourmet Blues Show, is more than a performance. It’s an experience: rich with heart, humor, and soul, delivered in intimate venues where every story has room to breathe and every note feels like it’s being played just for you.

And now, there’s a new layer to the show—original illustrations that bring each song to life on screen as I perform. These hand-crafted visuals turn every performance into a living, breathing blues storybook. It’s a blend of live music, visual art, and storytelling that deepens the emotional connection with the audience—and makes the show truly one-of-a-kind.

With your help, we’re ready to take this illustrated blues experience on tour.

Goal: $15,000 – Here’s Where It’s Going

We're launching the first leg of the tour in New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona—creative hubs where storytelling thrives. But this is just the beginning. Our long-term vision is a national tour that brings this unique blues-and-stories experience to cities across the country.

We’ve already got the show, the vision, and the drive—now we need the means to get on the road and bring this to the people.

Why This Matters

This isn’t just another tour—it’s a mission. Smooth Like Gravy is about connecting through music, stories, and soul. In a time when true connection can feel rare, this show is a reminder of our shared humanity—delivered with a guitar, a voice, and a whole lot of groove.

We’re starting local—but aiming for national. With your help, this show will grow into a movement, reaching listening rooms, community centers, and performing arts spaces across the country.

Every dollar moves us closer to the stage. Every share helps this story reach someone new. And every show brings us all a little closer together.

Join us. Let’s take the blues on the road—one heartfelt story at a time.
