Jeremy Butler

Jeremy Butler has been a radio fan since the 1960s. When he went off to college in 1972, he quickly joined his college's radio station's staff. There he played what was called "progressive" rock and later he co-hosted the punk show, "Progressions," on the University of Alabama's student station.

In 1993, he came to Alabama Public Radio with an idea for a new show featuring folk and singer-songwriter music, with an occasional international tune tossed into the mix. APR accepted Jeremy's pitch and "All Things Acoustic" became a fixture on Friday evenings.
