By Eileen Tilson When a young Butch Walker first came onto the scene in 1997 with Math and Other Problems, he swaggered on stage without an air of pretension, but the ability to convert a crowd, even if they had never heard of Marvelous 3 before. The music wasn’t difficult; it was catchy, upbeat pop […]
