Description:
Darren Thornley and The Burgs have been playing as a band for over 5 years. They started as a completely original performing band and have now incorporated many covers in their show. They have spent the last five years playing in Reno, Lake Tahoe and Salt Lake city for the most part. They are now looking toward Las Vegas to establish a name. They are mostly based on playing the Blues but incorperate many Jazz, Rock, Alternative, and Reggae material into their sets. They are a highly professional band and have a nack for drawing in their audience.
Band Members:
Darren Thornley is the front man as well as the primary writer and lead guitar player. He has a very blues based guitar style as well as a rugged blues voice but at times he can create a very R&B sound resembling Ray Charles or Van Morrison. Derrick Johnson the co founder plays percussion. People have compared his raw and intricate playing to that of a nostolgic jazz musician. Adam Fifield plays the piano, keyboards, and rhythm guitar. His musical ability keeps The Burgs sound full with great dynamics. Adam Smith plays the bass guitar. He has been compared to Willie Dixon and Les Claypool.
