At 6'5" & over 200 lbs., armed with his characteristically scarred acoustic guitar and deep, powerful voice, Big Joe Burke exudes "larger than life", commanding his audience's attention with his first long stride on stage. The gaping hole in his battered old Takamine is explained from the first driven, highly percussive, rhythmic chord he strikes; Big Joe Burke is clearly one intensely passionate performer.
Backed by a band as passionate about the music as Big Joe is, the energy on the stage and in the room is always electric.
Performing their own material and paying respectful homage, Big Joe and his band take you from honky tonk to alt-country and back, smoothly weaving a path through country and rock'n'roll's rich heritage, delivering you to a unique place in today's musical landscape.
On July 14, 2007, Big Joe Burke released his debut CD "Love or Money" in Vancouver. The CD is currently available in Vancouver through Red Cat Records and Zulu Records. Buy Online at: CD Baby, iTunes
