Joe Burke:
You know those moments when you see someone perform and you instantly recognise raw talent, well Joe is that someone. If you, yourself are a singer/songwriter/guitarist you'll either be greatly inspired or walk away feeling like you never want to sing or pick up a guitar again. He's that good. Influenced by the greats, past and present, his style meanders between Dylan-esque storytelling with finger-picked acoustic folk guitar work to slide and blues guitar and tap style. He can do it all. Vocally you'll hear elements of Paul Rogers & Bob Dylan as if they'd been gargling with Jack Daniels & gravel. His work is soulful, sensitive, sometimes sad & frustrated but always beautiful. With a catalogue of original songs to choose from there'll be debut album before long. Remember the name.
