The Usual Suspects - Line Up

 

Bobby Burke		Vocals / Keyboard / Acoustic Guitar / Crazy Legs Bobby plays in a range of different styles, from rock-soul function bands and Rhythm ’n’ Blues bands to fronting successful new-folk acts – Merchant Cellar and The Linford Project (which he took to the main stage of the Larmer Tree Festival).  He has headlined festivals with Global-Roots band Djambo, and recorded with Louise Brown and progressive-roots-jazz group The F&R Trio.  He demands high standards of himself and enjoys making good music, but is also acutely aware of the importance of entertainment value. His boundless energy and infectious sense of fun help create the party atmosphere that makes The Usual Suspects shows such fun to watch!
