Burton L

bphotoop-copyA musical double agent working the dancehall circuit as a DJ/Live PA and the rock clubs as a singer/guitarist, Burton L. creates music that combines deep, hypnotic rhythms and synthesizer lines with smooth guitar licks, intricate vocal harmonies – even some real horns and strings. Though known around his native Chicago primarily for spinning house, drum n’ bass, and downtempo sets at some of the city’s swankier nightclubs, Burton’s rock material reveals his secret identity as a fast-fingered guitarist, skillful songwriter, and a gifted singer with a voice equal parts gravelly and golden. Like Beck, John Spencer, and Moby, Burton L. bundles together countless branches of the genre tree, proving that electronic sounds and rock roots can – and should – go together.
