about
Wink Burcham is an American blues singer and songwriter from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Burcham is an integral part of the “New Tulsa Sound.” He has developed a very loyal following in Tulsa and Northwest Arkansas. Performing a style that easily slips between old-fashioned country, grass-roots folk, and Motown-inspired blues, it's easy to understand his appeal. His soulful melodies support witty and heartfelt lyrics in the tradition of John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, Hank Williams, and John Lee Hooker. His. debut studio album, Irene Vennie was recorded at the legendary Church Studio in Tulsa. Press Ahhh, Wink. He'd probably never admit it, but behind the trucker hat, the overalls and the big bushy beard and shaggy hair, the man exudes cool in an unnoticeable, skewed-from-the-cool-norm sort of way. His music does all the talking. He's a storyteller, and his music tells really, really good stories. Gon' To Lay You Down however is not so much a story as it is a slightly funky, blues and new folk masterpiece that grinds it out for three-plus minutes before the big finish kicks in. There's a guitar lick at 3:29 right before that big finish that absolutely freezes the listener. Simple, but knee-buckling. It's not flashy, but it's genuine and reliable and feels like home. Just like Tulsa. - Jive Wired For those well versed on the local music scene, Wink Burcham is a familiar name and face. He's been a staple of the local club scene for years, playing at least four night
