Steve Burks: Home
Growing up in Gary, Indiana, near Chicago (the blues & soul mecca), being raised in church, and then studying classical music on the college level, resulted in the sound I have now.
In 2011, I worked on an album for the International House of Blues Foundation with really good musicians: Bob Parr (bass), Alex Hahn (drums), Don Maracle (guitar), Umeki Neverson & Claudia Melton (vocals). It's the recorded version of a stage presentation we did for K-12 students on the history of the blues. I'm proud to have been a part of it. You can hear some of it by visiting the MUSIC section to the left, and clicking on BLUES SCHOOLHOUSE BAND.
My 2009 album, "Look At Her," is available @ CD Baby. It's a blend of soul music & hip-hop (meaning I was rapping and singing on it). Clicking on the image below will take you to the project:
If you want to read the lyrics for my songs, go to the MUSIC section and click on the song titles. Thanks for checking out my site.
