OtterSong Records

A Brief History...

OtterSong Records was formed in 1989 by John Luttrell as a medium for songwriting and composition of original music.

With the advent of the internet and streaming media technology independent musicians are now able to reach an audience that was previously unavailable and even unknown.

OtterSong Records is proud to bring some of the best atmospheric music to audiences around the world.

Thanks for supporting indie music!

A Bit of Trivia...

Why "OtterSong"? Do otters sing?

No, otters don’t sing (or at least have never been recorded). The last name of our founding artist, John Luttrell, comes from the French loutrelle, which means young otter. No big mystery, just a bit of trivia... And, in case you were wondering, although many pronounce it Lut-TRELL, it's really LUT-trell, accent on the "uh". You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, just don't call me late for the jam.
