Welcome to Butt Wheat

For over thirteen years there has been a group of musicians gathering near Greenville, Michigan to play music. You'll find them out west of town on a cleared patch of ground neighboring a cornfield. There on the last full weekend of July you'll see trailers and tents set up for camping, you will smell good food grilling, and you will see tables loaded with casserole dishes. Friends will be sitting around laughing and joking, just enjoying each other's company.

Along with all of the above you'll find an assortment of guitars, fiddles, banjos, and well, just about anything that someone might hammer out a tune on. Most of all, you're going to be hearing lots of music! All kinds of music just filling up your ears. That's Butt Wheat, it's all about the music.

Butt Wheat may be a summer weekend event but it is much more than that. It's a community of dedicated people with a passion to make music. These folks don't just get together at Butt Wheat. They are playing their instruments and singing out all year long at gatherings throughout the region. Butt Wheat is genre free too. Country, Folk, Blues, Old Timey, Rock, Gospel and so on, being played by people who love what they do and love what they hear, home spun music of all kinds.

Open to all musicians of any age, Butt Wheat is family friendly and fun for all. Music is played on the stage, under the audience tent, and back between the campers. It starts in the morning and continues into the moonlight. Oh yes, it goes on even if it rains!

Musicians of all levels of experience are welcome.

If you can't make it to the Butt Wheat weekend gig, try going to one of the Jam sessions around the area. You'll find listings on the Local Events and Jams page. All you have to do is like making music and have a desire for an unbridled fun time!
