The John Butler Trio won an ARIA award for "Best Independent Release" for Three in 2001 and has been nominated for three others. Three was released in the U.S. in 2002 and the John Butler Trio toured the U.S. in that year supporting the Dave Matthews Band and John Mayer.
The title Sunrise Over Sea is probably a reference to his home in Byron Bay which is the most easterly point in Australia and therefore one of the first points to see the sunrise (as opposed to his native Western Australia where the sun rises over land and sets over the sea). The single "Zebra" from this album was released in December 2003 and made the ARIA singles charts in early 2004. It was number 7 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2004 and also had significant airplay on commercial FM radio across Australia. John Butler won an Australasian Performing Rights Association award for Song of the Year in March 2004.
Following the Boxing Day Tsunami, the John Butler Trio appeared at the Wave Aid fundraising concert in Sydney, to raise funds for aid organisations working in disaster affected areas.
