Primary Instrument: Guitar, 8-string

”A new master of the 8 String Warr guitar...” ” Robert Silverstein, Music Web Express 3000 http://www.mwe3.com

“…a wildly gifted musician, Bill Burke plays the Warr Guitar, an eight stringed instrument which allows him to play multiple parts at the same time. That requires discipline not to mention dexterity, but he pulls it off gracefully on “Where’d Our Ball Go?” now in it’s second printing.” - Dave Richards, Erie Times News.

“Bill Burke plays the guitar like most people play the piano…the notes ripple from his instrument in a harp-like manner, yet the unmistakable guitar sound is still present.” - Karen Gardner, Frederick News-Post

“Trey Gunn is no longer the only Warr guitar player in town. Bill Burke from Maryland has also proven himself quite adept on this monstrous instrument as well... [but] Bill’s music is more than just for fans of the stick and Warr guitar. He has a flair for melody and composition as well as improvisation...” www.progressiveears.com

“Bill has the ability to create compositions which transfix the listener…” - Erie Times-News

Bill’s music can be heard nationally and internationally on stations as diverse as NPR (NYC and Echoes), Australia’s FretNet, Siberia’s Penguin Radio, The Netherlands’ Radio Xymphonia, KMHD (Portland, OR) and numerous others.

Bill resides in Maryland with his wife Jennifer and fur beast Rupert.
