`Attracted to the continually changing Drum & Bass Electonica scene and with the decline in clubs and live venues for Rock music in London he decided to create a hybrid of rock and hard dance beats. . "I want to bring back the hooks and melodies that made Rock so accessible in the 80s and have the excitement of the club culture combined to make a new sound to make a crossover band that appeals to more than one audience"
RGW NEW FEATURED ARTIST Live interview Wednesday 5pm. Read more for bio on Jon Hartmann
Hartmann is a songwriter, musician, producer, music publisher and record label executive whose career has had some interesting twists and turns. He's toured the world - from his first overseas gig in Southeast Asia to entertain soldiers for the USO, to performing with Ike & Tina Turner in Germany with the Rolling Stones as audience spectators - his talents have been recognized all over the globe.
With the proliferation of bands in LA, it's
hard to
distinguish one from the other. In a town where the airwaves are
exhausted by the same sounds and repetition, Burly Clyde is unlike
any other
band. Burly Clyde is down home. The music is melodic,
earthy, and raw. It's the
kind of music one actually wants to hear
not only on the radio but live as well.
The intent is simple...
grooving, soulful, real.
