Butterfinger was an alternative rock group originating from Saskatchewan, Canada, known for releasing a single studio album independently produced.
The track Breathe earned multiple accolades, notably winning the national songwriting contest at Canadian Music Week in 2001. This achievement enabled the band to collaborate with Producer, Mixer, and Engineer Jared Kuemper to create a full-length album.
In 2003, Butterfinger garnered a nomination for "Outstanding Rock Recording" at the Western Canadian Music Awards.
During November 2003, the band secured a VideoFACT grant to develop a music video for Do You Feel?, chosen from a pool of 284 entries with only 40 recipients awarded. The video production was handled by Firewatch Films based in Toronto.
Although the band ceased releasing new material after 2004, they reunited to perform at the 2017 Saskatchewan Rush home opener. Subsequent to the band's activity, John Sanche exited the music industry; Damon Tupper became involved with groups such as Hung Jury, Lisa Moen, and Tyler Lewis; Tyler Penny established the project Penny Reign; and Dean Person advanced his career as a singer/songwriter and guitarist.
