A truly one-of-a-kind artist, Kaitlin Butts has a deep affinity for country music’s more theatrical side: the extravagant storytelling, dazzling showmanship, songs embedded with both unbridled emotion and quick-fire humor. After discovering her passion for performing as a little girl, the Tulsa, Oklahoma native later brought her boundless energy and radiant voice to her own unapologetic yet soulful songwriting. She has recently tour with the likes of Dierks Bentley, Lainey Wilson, Turnpike Troubadours and Morgan Wade. Her new song “Hunt Me Down” sets up a new chapter for the singer/songwriter. Produced by Oran Thornton (Brent Cobb, Logan Brill), “Hunt You Down” marks a major tonal shift from Butts’ 2022 sophomore LP what else can she do, a character-driven exploration of complex matters like addiction, domestic violence, and generational trauma. “With the last album I wanted to write about the struggles I’d seen people go through or experienced myself, so a lot of the songs had a sadness or darkness to them,” she says. “I feel like ‘Hunt You Down’ is much closer to what I’m like onstage, where there’s real emotion and truth but also humor and a tendency to poke fun. It’s all those different versions of me at once.”
