Jonathan Burks

Jonathan Burks grew up in Racine, WI.  By the time he moved to Milwaukee to attend college and become a folk singer in 1997, Burks had been writing songs for a number years.  As he pounded the pavement of the Milwaukee folk scene throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, playing every open-mic and basement show that would have him, and touring the country by Greyhound and Amtrak, he accumulated a huge catalog of songs, some of them heartbreaking, some of them hilarious, and all of them disarmingly honest.
