About Me


About me: I'm a husband and a father, I'm an artist, and I’m a musician, inventor, computer nerd, webmaster, adrenalin junkie and a chocolate lover. Life's a box of chocolates, are you gonna eat that?
The inventor side of me creates such crazy concoctions as Monsta's Gaming Chair and The Dragon Rider .
Monsta's Gaming Chair came from my helicopter combat flight sim days. I was one tough cookie in my Comanche. Monsta Gamer Extreme , Gamer Pro Plus , Racing Pro and other models to choose from.
The Dragon Rider was born from my love for Halloween.
I was born to entertain and there's not much that I enjoy more than performing in a live setting. (Outside of being a father of course)
I love to perform. I've performed in over 200 shows since January of 2005. I love to feel the energy from the crowd. When you're in front of me during a performance, I want to move you with my words and my actions. I want YOU to FEEL MY performance. I'm one to walk out into the crowd and let anybody that's singing along join in on the mic with me. I am a serious musician but I still make it a point to have fun and enjoy the craft. It's important that YOU, my listening audience, enjoys the show too. That is what's most important. I perform to entertain. I perform because I really believe that it's what I was born to do.
I'm a singer/songwriter/entertainer and & I'd love to entertain you for a while.
Peace & Love!Brian Burke

Sounds Like: I used to hear that I did a pretty good Robert Plant. They gave me a nickname around the karaoke circuit back in 1994 or so, they called me "Robert". - What a cool nickname! Thank You for comparing me to my all time favorite singer. In my all time favorite band. That's a huge compliment. I have also heard that I sound a bit like like Eddy Vedder (Pearl Jam). When I was a bit younger and chose to sing the songs, I could reproduce Axel Rose pretty closely. ...I don't choose to sing those songs anymore... lol. I still hear that I sound like Sammy Hagar or Scott Stapp and I've even heard that I sound like Chris Cornell. To be considered among these huge names is amazing! Yet I don't try to sound like anyone. "I do what I do" and let you be the judge. I just hope you like the mess I make.I don't really try to sound like other artists when I sing. If I'm singing a cover song, I will try to immulate some of the original artist inflection. How they curve phrases or go sharp on a chorus or whatever... I will often add in my own 'slight' improv in places. You can spot those because I'll do it every time we do the song.
