About The Butch Rolle Experience 

I used to be a professional football player, a tight end for the NFL's Buffalo Bills. After retiring from football, I was able to follow my childhood dream to become a teacher and mentor for kids and the founder of a charity that supports kids on the path to their future success. In addition to being an educator, one of my favorite hobbies is playing music. I performed with my students throughout the years and music became more of an outlet for me as I used my guitar to pour my heart into every chord.

Performing live music, combined with the energy of the crowd, it was was a lot like my experience on the field. But I wasn't playing for the sake of winning the game, fame or fortune. I wanted to make a difference, to use my music to bring about positive change. So, I started playing concerts for charity. It was my way of giving back, of using my platform to help those in need.

I've traveled from city to city, playing in small venues and big stadiums alike. The stage was a place where I could connect with people through the universal language of music. And with each concert, I saw the impact we were making. The funds raised went towards providing scholarships, providing meals to students and supporting other various causes close to my heart. Because in the end, it's not about the fame or the glory. It's about using my talents to make a difference and leave a lasting impact on the world.
