Mike Burke
Mike Burke has a new single out that was released on June 19, 2020. The tune, Shopping For The Apocalypse is now available on major streaming sites as well as his website at Burke-Music.com.
The song was inspired by a comment Mike overheard at a market. "The lady behind me in line was watching people purchase large quantities of items and said 'Hmm, shopping for the apocalypse'. So me being a musician the little bell went off…that would be a good song title! The only problem I had writing this song was deciding how many verses to have. It could have gone on forever so I kept it at 8 verses and finished the song.” Mike did the vocals and is playing all the instruments except the drums, which he programmed.
Mike came to Galveston in 1982 after earning his Bachelor of Music degree at a Kansas university. He has played in groups covering a wide range of styles from big band to country. Mike also owned and operated a music store named Galveston Music Central in the mid-1980's on Avenue O. “We carried mostly combo gear and rented sound systems. We provided as many as 5 sound stages at various festivals on the Strand and we did sound at the Opera House."
Lately Mike has been working with the all-original music group Waterline. The group consists of Chris Robbian, Lynn Burke and Mike. They have performed at the Old Quarter and Brews Brothers as well as private parties.
Mike has also launched a new website for his music. Visit Burke-Music.com to hear his new release Shopping For The Apocalypse. “I will be putting more tunes on the site so keep an eye on it. I had to come up with an artist name so after doing some research I settled on just Burke as the name. I like to joke and say Burke, the artist formerly known as Mike.”
