Shane Burke
[adrotate banner=”56″]
Shane Burke is a gifted singer songwriter from Baltimore Md, and has been writing and performing his own material since the age of 4. Self taught, he plays many instruments including piano, drums, bass, guitar, ukulele, harmonica, and anything else he can get his hands on. Consequently, he has built up quite a catalog of original music, and has little difficulty recording himself in his home studio. His latest offering being a 10 song LP titled, “Under the sun”; his second official release since parting ways with international touring band Brickfoot. As far as Shane’s overall sound, it can only be described as some sort of common ground between the sweet sacredness of Jeff Buckley and the gritty soul of Otis redding; Executed in a manner The Beatles would be proud of….Shane has not only enjoyed success in the studio, but also on stage; having shared the spotlight with such legends at Nils Lofgren of Bruce Springsteen’s E-Street Band, and Chuck Mangione… Even Ringo Starr, drummer of The Beatles upon hearing Shane’s music is in his own words “a fan”. Now backed by guitar virtuoso Mike Waddell and drumming prodigy Jay Dewitt, Shane’s sound is ever evolving while still retaining a certain individuality; an admirable if not rare trait in a world dominated by cookie-cutter mediocrity. What will be next for Shane? Only time will tell, but the future certainly looks bright for this Md native.
