Take a look at Shawn Hatfield‘s article and interview with Jake and The Burtones, published by Loudoun Arts. Read some of the great stories and listen to their latest single from their upcoming album, Half-Dead.
Jake and The Burtones are a Loudoun County-based country group. That said, their shows consist of a little bit of everything: country, bluegrass, rock and roll, punk rock, and The Dead. The band started playing music together in 2008 and have been going uphill since then. The Burtones play thousands of shows and they have a giant fan base and several studio/live album releases under their belt. If you have not seen them, you can catch them playing most weekends at local breweries, restaurants, wineries, and other venues. The Burtones have had the pleasure to play on the same bill as the greats like Seldom Scene, Del McCoury, Chris Theele, and Peter Rowan. They have made a significant impact on acoustic music in Loudoun County and all over Virginia…
First and foremost, I love music and writing. Since I composed my first pieces of music and poetry I've been obsessed with creative output. Music and writing are a constant puzzle I want to solve, whether it is a blog piece, recording session artists, short stories, or full length albums. I am the owner and head engineer of Groove: Music Studios. Currently, we offer professional audio mixing and mastering services. I am also the Senior Editor/Staff Writer at The Borfski Press, an independent publishing company that I co-own with my wife, Dagney.
I am currently working full time in music retail at a small business and part time as a professional musician and writer. I love working in a local shop, building customer relationship management skills, and having the opportunity to sell things I love. My expertise include audio production, live sound, music retail, writing/blogging, and publishing. I especially enjoy writing and learning about music gear, specifically vintage pedals. There's something very special and exciting about stomping a pedal's switch or flipping an amp on for the first time.
