Ep 27: Kendall Burks

We are taught from a young age that our brains are two-sided. We have our analytical left side and our creative right side. It is a rare gift when one can switch effortlessly between the brains. Kendall Burks is one such genius. His thoughtful prose on creating music and living the life of an artist delves deep into ideals of what it really means to be a working artist. Kendall also sees teaching as one of the many gifts a great artist can bestow and a large part of his artistry comes from the growth he experiences as both a teacher and a working musician. Kendall's guitar compositions are most easily experienced through his latest release, the LP entitled Waves. He has also composed a full length piece for the Balinese Gamelan group Tunas Mekar, entitled "Kayu Sakti" ("Magical Wood") which incidentally, is a blast to play! Between composing, teaching and performing, Kendall Burks is truly living the life of a successful artist.
