Bill Burke (8 String Guitarist) Ensemble Performance January 23, 2010

A “wildly gifted musician” and “new master of the 8-string guitar” Bill Burke is an innovator in both technique and style. Bill plays the 8 string guitar using a unique two-handed tap style method. A visual feast for audiences, this method allows him to play multiple parts at the same time resulting in layered audio splendor, similar to piano.

A professional instrumentalist and composer, Bill has produced four highly acclaimed recordings as well as numerous broadcast works for TV, film and radio. His music combines elements of minimalism, jazz, folk and world. Bill’s latest release “With” and earlier CDs “Comma” and “Where’d Our Ball Go” have been featured on NPR along with numerous other airways. Bill will be performing with an ensemble tonight, featuring great percussion.
