Butch Bastard + Mitch Rowland

**Folklore Sessions Presents:**

Butch Bastard is the project of Los Angeles-based songwriter Ian Murray, known for his sharply observed, narrative-driven songwriting.

In 2025, he opened a full UK and European tour for Father John Misty, performing in venues including the Royal Albert Hall and the Copenhagen Opera House. The tour marked a significant expansion of his audience, with strong reception across multiple cities and sold-out vinyl runs along the way.

Mitch Rowland is an American guitarist, songwriter best known for his close creative partnership with Harry Styles. Raised in Ohio and later based in Los Angeles, Rowland emerged as a key musical collaborator on Styles' solo work, contributing guitar, songwriting, and production across multiple records, including the Grammy-winning album Harry's House.

Before stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist, Rowland built a reputation as a versatile and musical guitarist, both in the studio and on stage. As a member of Styles' touring band, he became known for his fluid playing style and understated presence.

In 2023, Rowland released his debut solo album, Come June, a collection of introspective songs that blend folk, soft rock, and classic singer-songwriter influences. The record highlights a quieter, more personal side of his artistry marked by delicate arrangements, thoughtful lyrics, and a focus on melody over virtuosity.
