Jeff Burkhart weaves heart into his songs, bridging memory, experience, purpose and a sense of place. “I’m most pleased with a song when I’ve gotten down to the bone and it speaks something essential,” he said. His record with The Dirty Shirts was named one of the ten best Madison albums by Isthmus.

“Burkhart writes songs that would make Kristofferson reach over to turn up the radio, and sings them with the swagger and blue notes of Yoakam.” – Andy Moore, producer of Wisconsin Public Television’s 30 Minute Music Hour
