Chris Burkhardt is now on CD Baby at www.cdbaby.com/cd/chrisburkhardt.Chris Burkhardts latest release Taken Time (Jack Mango Recordings JMR001) is a solo CD that showcases his musicianship as a slide guitarist (1933 National Steel) vocalist, and harmonica player. Burkhardts well crafted original songs and heartfelt renditions of traditional Delta Blues were captured live in the studio and display the passion, fervor, and spontaneity of the artist. This is what it sounds like to be influenced musically and poetically by Miles Davis, Mick Jagger, Son House, Bukka White and Charles Baudelaire all at the same time introspectively, heart-breakingly, and deliciously blue. When Chris Burkhardt plays you feel the cry of the blues everyones blues.In the fall of 2005 Chris completed a successful solo tour of the Pacific Northwest. He is currently writing new material and performing in the San Francisco Bay Area.Chris Burkhardt has been a professional musician since 1988, writing, performing, and recording as a soloist and as lead vocalist and bassist for the Board of Directors.
