简介
Jo Burt is an English songwriter, storyteller, singer and guitar player possibly best known for his incredible history working with musical legends such as Freddie Mercury, The Troggs and Black Sabbath over the past 40 years. The last few years have seen Jo making a name in his own right with his project The Jo Burt Experience. Originally created as a songwriting development tool, in the last 2 years the band have become an outstanding live act playing festivals and venues around the UK, Europe and North America. 2012 saw Jo take his unique 'Anglicana' sound to Canada for the first time on a hugely successful tour of British Columbia. Last year saw two return tours to Canada, with a further visit planned this year. At the time of writing, Jo’s new album 'Indestructible' (available Spring 2014) has been completed having been recorded with heavyweight producer Chris Kimsey at Kore Studios in London. The lead track, in Jo's words a 'psycho-country' version of Black Sabbath's biggest hit 'Paranoid' was released at the end of last year and the video can be seen on Jo's website. The video for the single 'The Mess' will be available in a matter of days. The band will be touring the South West in May and June in support of the single, and heading back to Canada for a festival tour in July. Jo’s previous album ‘Seven Seeds‘ is available on iTunes and the last video from that album can be seen on Jo's website or search 'Jo Burt Money Changes Nothing' on youtube. Jo's writing style is based on his background of rock, with a southern-style influence and a very English Beatles-esque twist. He is a hypnotic performer, drawing in his listeners with tales from his recording and touring past, and telling gripping and intriguing stories through his songs themselves. His warm and enthusiastic approach never fails to endear him to his audience and the connection and friendship with his band is equally apparent as they clearly thrive on performing Jo's music. More information on Jo, his musical pedigree and his band can be found on his website and his Facebook page JoBurtExperience. You can also follow Jo's movements on Twitter @therealjoburt.
