Last January, Matt Butler started work on the first Everyone Orchestra studio album in Brooklyn, NY. Butler recruited some of EO’s most famous alumni for the session, including Jon Fishman (Phish), Jeff Coffin (Dave Matthews Band), Al Schnier (moe.), Reed Mathis (Tea Leaf Green) Steve Kimock, Marco Benevento, Jennifer Hartswick (Trey Anastasio Band), Jamie Masefield (Jazz Mandolin Project) and Jans Ingber (The Motet).

A few months back, we spoke to Matt Butler about his Everyone Orchestra studio project in an extended interview. At the time, Butler was mixing the recordings and deciding how best to release them to the public. While the project is still seeking funding via a kickstarter campaign, the first track “Boots” surfaced on Butler’s soundcloud page earlier today via Phish.net , giving us our first taste of the recordings. Check out the song below and if you like what you hear head over to EO’s Kickstarter page and help fund the rest of the project.
