About Me

Chris Burke plays keys (piano/organ), bass, guitar, accordion, tuba, and some other weird things. He is into writing and recording music in a range of styles. Seeing as I am, in fact, Chris Burke, I will hereby stop referring to myself in the third person, and assume the first. I mainly run around with the Geoff Hartwell Band, and the Messengers. I also get to work with Rich Kelly, Petey Hop, Eric Haight, Shane Kirsch, John Federico, Marc Beladino, Space Cabbage, et al. I am currently involved in a couple of original projects, the fruits of which I hope to share w/ anyone who cares to listen. I am sort of allergic to chocolate. The thing is, I can eat a Snickers bar with no problems, but if I have real dark chocolate, or chocolate cake with fudge or anything, I get a headache. Sometimes I even get nauseous and vomit. ..
