Butter And The Genre

Butter and the Genre is a jazz band that blends the best of timeless influences with a fresh, inviting sound. Led by Gregory "Butter" Haubrich, the group is known for their seamless instrumental harmonies and the soulful voice of Calliope Staudt, creating music that captivates everyone from seasoned jazz lovers to those new to the genre. With their debut album, Music Is Life, on the horizon, the band is ready to share their vibrant sound with audiences far and wide.

Formed in December 2023, the band came together through a mix of talent from the University of Central Oklahoma’s jazz scene and Oklahoma City's 51st Street Speakeasy. Calliope’s stunning performance of “Bye Bye Blackbird” at a jazz jam sealed her place in the group, where her voice seamlessly blends with horns and rhythm section, becoming a defining element of the band's sound.
