Bio / info
Paul Vaughn Butterfield (December 17, 1942 – May 4, 1987) was an American blues harmonica player and singer. In 1963, he formed the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, which recorded several successful albums and was popular on the late-60s concert and festival circuit. The band was known for combining electric Chicago blues with a rock urgency and for their pioneering jazz fusion performances and recordings. After the breakup of the group in 1971, Butterfield continued to tour and record with the band Paul Butterfield's Better Days, with his mentor Muddy Waters, and with members of The Band. While still recording and performing, Butterfield died in 1987 at age 44 of a heroin overdose.
