About
Eddie Burke is a sought-after singer and guitarist for weddings and private events.
His melodies and lyrics, delivered with a beautifully rich voice and expressive guitar playing, inspire deep emotional connections.
Trained under Professor Richard Schilling at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, Eddie continues to refine his craft through mentorship and hands-on experience, exploring aspects of technique and theory to allow him to further express himself.
From playing in bands and duo acts to performing as a solo act and hosting his own concerts, he has honed a unique style that blends storytelling with expressive musicianship. When Eddie performs a song, he is immersed in articulating its meaning and takes his listeners along with him
Just after the time Eddie began high school, his mother gave him his first guitar for Christmas. It was at that moment he first experienced the spark of what was to become a lifelong passion for him. It was love at first sight, and the relationship is still going strong! Eddie has loved music since he was a small boy, but his introduction to the guitar caused his love of music to grow exponentially, along with finding his singing voice.
He discovered a powerful link between music and healing, and now he has witnessed firsthand how his performances deeply resonate with audiences, eliciting powerful responses covering the gamut of human emotions.
His mission is to create music that encourages reflection, connection, and a shared human experience.
Additional booking notes
To ensure the highest quality entertainment experience for your event, it is essential that the necessary technical and sound equipment is in place. I'm there to make sure everything looks and sounds amazing, whether you already have these resources in place or need me to supply the equipment and support.
Each performance, at a minimum, needs a clear and stable space for Eddie to perform comfortably. A stable, reliable power supply must also be present at the stage area for musical equipment to be plugged into.
If you already have a professional audio technician (person who is running the sound equipment for your event), I'm happy to collaborate with that person to ensure everything is set up and running smoothly.
If not, I can bring my own audio tech to handle setting up the sound and make sure everything is running smoothly.
I'll be happy to discuss further details with you after booking, guaranteeing the setup matches your venue size and number of guests.
For larger or more elaborate events, I offer an Event Production Package which includes not just the sound system, but also a stage and lighting as needed to elevate the experience of your event for you and your guests.
My team will handle everything from setup to soundcheck, allowing you to focus on your event and not worry about technical issues. I'll make it easier for you to relax and enjoy yourself.
