# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Jon Butcher Axis
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 31 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: 7-31-2026 (Sawtelle Room)

Formed in 1979, The JON BUTCHER AXIS has been rocking rooms big and small off and on for 47 years, from their early start at the legendary Rathskellar ('The Rat') and The Channel Club in Boston, to 20,000 seat arenas across the U.S., touring with the likes of Def Leppard, Rush, The J. Geils Band, The Scorpions and INXS.

Multiple videos on MTV and ferocious live shows helped them build a loyal and dedicated following, especially across New England. But all good things must come to an end. Recently, Jon Butcher announced via social media (see below) that he would be winding down AXIS this year to close out their amazing history. Jon is and will remain as busy as ever with his other two touring projects (Shades of Blue and Guitar Monsters), but he feels it's time to give fans a couple more chances to see him and his longtime bandmates Chris Martin and Marty Richards play a bunch of those classic AXIS songs live one more time.

Dear Fans, Friends & Family

It is with a bittersweet mix of gratitude and appreciation that I announce that AXIS will play its final shows this year before calling it a day. And what a day it was! I'll be posting pics, music and more leading up to our final shows in the coming weeks. And thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sticking with us. I sincerely hope to see you at one of the shows for HOLY WAR, LIFE TAKES A LIFE, OCEAN IN MOTION and more!
