Jim Burke
Hi, I'm Jim Burke, from Novi, Michigan. I've written a lot of songs and want to get some of them out on the net for people to hear. Currently I am just recording at home on a four track cassette recorder, overdubbing guitars and vocals myself, so I don't have any professional quality recordings of my songs. But I hope you enjoy the songs. Please give them a listen!Band/artist history
As mentioned above, I played in Cover Story for about three and a half years. Since then I've jammed here and there with the Swider Cellar Band, and have done a lot of writing. I don't have a band, I'm just trying to get my songs on the net so that friends and family can hear them.Have you performed in front of an audience?I used to play live, with a band called Cover Story. We played at various bars around metro Detroit, doing (Surprise) cover songs from the 60s through the 90s. I stopped playing with them towards the end of 2000. I haven't done anything yet with my originals, but hopefully will some day.
