Joe & Sheila share a common heritage of Irish & Native American traditions
that comes from the Appalachian region of
Kentucky and West Virginia.
They have used their experiences and their visions in the writing of this profound recording that is attached at the top of this letter.
A perfect blend of Universal and Timeless Americana, Folk, & World music with powerful lyrics and beautiful voices.
With that in mind, we ask you to consider
Joe Kidd & Sheila Burke
Their debut CD release Everybody Has A Purpose
was released in late 2015.
With songs like the highly charged Soldiers In The Army Of Mercy & Peace
which immediately received the Global Music Award for Folk Song Of The Year, and the universally uplifting title track, this record becomes a must for all audiences.
It has been described as sounding more like a career spanning greatest hits album, than a debut CD.
'Soldiers In The Army O Mercy & Peace has been chosen and is receiving airplay and great response in the Holy Land at the borders of conflict between Israel, Palestine, & Lebanon.
Joe & Sheila received back to back Detroit Music Awards for
World Music Songwriters Of The Year.
While onstage at Detroit's 2015 Concert Of Colors
they were presented with a Michigan Governor's Award for
Artistic Excellence and their efforts for Social Justice, Peace, & Cultural Diversity
by State Representative George Darany.
On June 1, 2017 Joe Kidd was inducted into the Michigan Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
Joe & Sheila have appeared in Mexico (Hyatt Ziva Resort Hotel), Throughout Ontario Canada, and across the USA from
Brooklyn NY (17 Frost Theater), to Nashville TN (Tootsies World Famous Orchid Lounge), to Hollywood CA (Genghis Cohen Theater).
They appeared in Joshua Tree Ca (J T Saloon) on January 7 2017.
The record is enjoying international airplay in UK, Israel, South Africa, Mexico, Australia, Germany and more, as well as
countless radio and internet stations across America.
It recently received the Soldiers Of Peace Award from Ear 2 The Ground Music Blog NYC.
The CD is also receiving unanimous critical praise (as evidenced on the official website).
It is available on ITunes, Amazon, AmazonUK, and all great outlets.
The last track on the CD, 'Waiting For That Flower To Bloom' is also featured
on the new benefit compilation album titled 'Songs For Standing Rock Vol 5'.
Joe & Sheila are currently involved in two separate projects in UK.
A live CD recording for UNICEF, and a cover song to accompany a project officially endorsed by
Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr based upon a Beatles painting from 1966 titled
Art In A Corner.
We are in the early planning stages for a 2018 UK tour.
