As a band we enjoy learning tunes and playing them. We also like drinking tea, wrestling, going on hikes, and making thank you lists. We look forward to traveling, walks on beaches, and movie nights. We appreciate good shoes and the comfort they bring. We welcome and love all music!
Press release from the Round Hill Arts Center
You've heard about them, but have you had a chance to hear them play? Loudoun's own Acoustic Burgoo brings their totally unique blend of folk, blues and traditional tunes to the Round Hill Arts Center this coming Saturday night.
Formed in January 2006, the Burgoo is made up of Rudy Bzdyk, Ben Walters, Erik Burnham and Melissa Wright, four young adults bringing a fresh sound to favorite old tunes - with a professional dedication that belies their ages. They've been playing local gigs for quite a while now, recently opening for Ralph Stanley and the Seldom Scene at Franklin Park, as well as Larry Sparks as a part of the Lucketts Bluegrass Series... To hear traditional music filtered and re-appreciated through these talented young adults is something not to be missed.
Contact us at our band email, theacousticburgoo@yahoo.com for booking.
