EP 92 KEVIN BURT & Big Medicine drops in from IOWA to chat about his album called "Thank You Brother Bill: A Tribute To Bill Withers" We play a couple of the tracks and talk about some East Coast tour dates!

Kevin Burt's soul-inspired performances are unique, which consistently gets him compared to a range of artists like Bill Withers and Aaron Neville, with the ability to build an audience rapport that has been compared to B.B. King. Burt is a musician (vocals, harmonica, and guitar) whose smooth, warm vocal presentation and humor audiences of all ages seem to enjoy. Two of Kevin’s primary influences are Bill Withers and Aaron Neville and he has the ability to build a great rapport with the audience with his soul-inspired presentation and natural stage presence.

Kevin Burt, a distinguished member of the Iowa Blues Hall of Fame, recently released "Thank You, Brother Bill: A Tribute to Bill Withers," out now through Gulf Coast Records. This homage to the legendary Bill Withers showcases Burt's captivating vocals, harmonica, and guitar talents, alongside his band, Big Medicine. The album, available for CD pre-order, was recorded at The Sound Box Recording Studio in Cedar Rapids, IA, with an ensemble featuring Scot Sutherland on bass, Ken Valdez on lead/rhythm guitar, and Eric Douglas on drums/percussion.

The track list includes soulful renditions of Withers' classics such as "Ain’t No Sunshine" and "Lean On Me," culminating in the poignant original composition, "Thank You Brother Bill," written by Kevin Burt himself. Burt, profoundly influenced by Withers, expresses a deep connection to the stories and songs that have shaped his own narrative. In his own words, "I hope to someday have an impact on someone else’s world the way Mr. Withers has had on mine." Experience the resonance of these timeless melodies and stories that transcend generations. Much love to Brother Bill Withers and to all who appreciate the profound journey of music. — Kevin Burt
