Burk has an unparalleled blue-collar work ethic that he ’s easily applied to the cutthroat world of music with a midwestern sens ibility that for the last 23 years has enabled him to play more than 200 s hows a year across the Midwest\, West Coast\, and Europe with the Prisoner s.  \nBurk’s affinity for songs about love\, life\, pain\, and good ol ’ hard work can be traced to his small-town Iowa roots. Born and raised in Atlantic\, Iowa\, Burk spent much of his youth singing in the church an d listening to his father’s collection of Elvis Presley 8 tracks. These roots he never abandoned even while sharing the stage with artists from Bi g Smith to Jason Aldean. Roots that ground honesty to his songwriting and humility across the thousands of miles and thousands of shows.  \n“My b oots have known mostly rocky roads\, but that makes the songs come easy so metimes\,” Burk says. In 2012 Randy Burk and the Prisoners won the Artis tSignal.com 90-day competition for $25\,000\, which helped them release th eir 3rd album “Money\, Heart & Soul.” Burk and the Prisoners are slate d to release their highly anticipated 5th album this winter. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This week’s b everage tent sponsors making sure you don’t go thirsty:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Getting Here\nHere is the map link to our office in the hear t of the Farmers Market.
