Butterfly Boucher (pronounced /ˈbaʊtʃɚ/) is an Australian singer/songwriter. Boucher, born June 2, 1979, is the middle child of seven daughters. The name "Butterfly" was a suggestion from a friend of the family. Her mother didn't initially like the name but kept seeing butterflies in pictures, on clothing, etc. before the birth. In later years, Butterfly's sister had a band, The Mercy Bell, in which Butterfly played bass guitar.[1] Her debut album, Flutterby, was released in 2003, and in 2004 and 2005, Boucher toured the United States and Europe, opening for Barenaked Ladies, and later for Sarah McLachlan on her Afterglow arena tour. Boucher released her first single of the album, "I Can't Make Me," in the UK first and later released "Another White Dash". Boucher currently resides in the United States. She has completed a second album,[2] tentatively titled Scary Fragile,[3] which is expected to be released in the UK some time late January/early February 2008.[2] The single "A Bitter Song" from the album, first featured on an episode of the television series Grey's Anatomy, is scheduled to be released as an iTunes download on February 27.[4]
