NEW & HAPPENING AT

The BIG Templeton Mini-School Fundraiser

2010-02-27T15:11:00.000-08:00

On March 27th, 2010 Big Joe Burke and his talented twangsters, Gord "Gorehound" Smithers, Pat Darcus, Mark Gruft and special guest Rob Blackburn will be performing at The Russian Hall to help raise funds for Templeton Mini School, in East Vancouver, B.C.

All proceeds from this benefit will go towards helping fund Templeton Mini-School programs, including striving to ensure that ALL children have the opportunity to participate in educational field trips/activities. Funds will also go toward the purchase of computers and equipment.

As you're probably aware, government cuts to education have really been taking a toll on the quality of education local schools are able to provide for students. It's really important that we all step up to the plate, and strive to help future generations benefit from a quality education.

Joining Big Joe Burke in this endeavor will be Vancouver's Texas-style Roadhouse Country & Honky-Tonk Rock'n Roll band, Wichita Trip - with their new addition: the lovely and talented Miss. Barb Wilkins-Lindsay (BoomChix).

There's gonna' be a whole lot of foot-stompin', two-steppin', hip shakin' and a twistin' fun-fun-fun!! going down at The Russian Hall on this night.

The roof is being especially strapped down to the Hall for the occasion, because with all that talent filling the room with BIG beautiful, countrified, rockin' music there is the risk that it could not only be raised - but blown right away!!

One things for sure, the audience sure will be.

So come on down and help Big Joe Burke and Wichita Trip raise money for this most worthy cause!!

Cover charge is $15 (think of the children...)

The Russian Hall is located at 600 Campbell Street in Vancouver, B.C.

There will be beers , wines and soft drinks.

There will also be door prizes and a 50/50 Draw.

Looking forward to seeing you there!!

PRESS RELEASE - APRIL 22ND, 2009

2009-04-23T14:38:00.000-07:00

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

April 22nd, 2009

YVR Records is pleased to announce the upcoming release of alt-country singer/songwriter, rowdy and rousing Big Joe Burke's new CD - entitled "Quiver".

The CD Release party for "Quiver" will be held at: The Legendary Railway Club on Friday May 22nd, 2009 - with very special guests Roots Rock’n’Country band "Graham Brown & The Prairie Dogs" and Vancouver’s Rock’n’roll cowboy surfers "The Modelos".

Three of BC’s finest Roots Rock and Country bands performing at Vancouver’s hottest live music venue = 1 guaranteed night of guitar lickin’ good times.

Tickets are $10 at the door, $8 for members. Show starts at 9:00 p.m.

Come on down and hear Big Joe Burke's incredible new material performed live for the very first time, and discover why it is that Big Joe’s being hailed by many as “One of the best country singers in Canada” – and one of BC’s best alt-country bands.

Recorded at YVR Studios in Vancouver (East) between December 2008 and April 2009, produced by Big Joe Burke, engineered by Ken Burke and Chris Hockin, "Quiver" is a powerful and passionate follow up album to Big Joe Burke's debut "Love or Money", presenting timeless and topical subject matter through an intensely expressive fusion of country, rock’n’roll and the blues.

“Quiver” will touch listeners deeply – move, evoke, cause goosebumps to rise and bring on shivers. It will take you places that you know and love, then pull you away – lead you to a darker, uncertain fate. Questions raised, and promises delivered.

You'll be leaving the club on shaky legs by the time the night is through. So take your vitamins and get plenty of rest before this event, and do wear comfie dancing shoes.

CD's will be available for purchase at the show for $15, and after the show you can get them at YVR Records official outlet: Bone Rattle Music, located at 2012 Commercial Drive, Vancouver, B.C. www.bonerattle.com

Members of The Press who would like to attend this event – please contact: info@yvrrecords.com or phone 604-202-1758.

Not an event to be missed! Big Joe Burke and his alt-country band have come a long way since “Love or Money” was recorded. Their progress and development is evident in “Quiver” – and in their pulse raising live show. You will be rocked, you will be rolled, you will be swayed, your heart will be stolen, and you will be sold on this incredible Canadian talent.

YVR Records is proud to emerge as one of Vancouver’s newest indie record labels, presenting its first signed artist and release; we believe “Quiver” is going to set the bar for YVR Records – and big wheels in motion for Big Joe Burke.

Looking forward to seeing you at the show!
