TODD BURGE
A native of West Virginia's Wood County region, Burge spent the '80s and '90s earning his place as one of the most important, prolific and enduring figures in the state's music scene, fronting everything from the alt-rock band 63 Eyes to the outlaw-country cover project Triple Shot. Since the early 2000s, Burge has concentrated on his singular brand of folk-pop storytelling. Employing wry humor, dexterous guitar work and an ear bending vocal range, if it’s been discovered by man, Todd Burge has written about it. Born to ponder and observe life, each of his songs tells a story. Whether drawn from personal experience or a tale of poetically woven fiction, you’ll live every second of it through his songs.
Burge has graced stages at an array of venues, from iconic locations like CBGB's and The Country Music Hall of Fame to the prestigious stages of The Kennedy Center, alongside countless music venues and theaters.He has been a repeat guest on various nationally syndicated programs including Mountain Stage Radio (NPR) and Songs at the Center (PBS).
FANS SPEAK!
“It's fantastic! (Your Reflection Will K*ll You) Songs are great (as always) ...musicians are amazing.... the production is superb!”
Greg Marsh
”I actually listened to both of those new albums today on Spotify. The new album is probably one of your best IMHO, but 1986 is so good. ‘My Wasted Youth’ is amazing. I listened to that track alone 3 times in a row.”
Shane King - Williamstown WV
