Composed by: Brent Pierce

“Drunken Butterfly” is an original composition by Brent Pierce, rooted firmly in the traditional bluegrass tradition. Built around a lively call and answer exchange between banjo and guitar, the tune captures the playful drive and rhythmic snap that define classic mountain music.

Brent Pierce leads on banjo, setting the tune’s energetic foundation and melodic direction. Cody Kilby answers with crisp, hard driving flatpicked guitar, delivering precision and fire with every run. Holding it all together is Mark Fain on bass, whose steady pulse anchors the tune and lets the melody dance freely.

Fast, joyful, and steeped in tradition, “Drunken Butterfly” is a celebration of straight ahead bluegrass simple, swinging, and meant to be played loud and fast.
