I go by the name "Blackbird Burns" and can be easily found as the only "Blackbird Burns" on youtube.com
I am 45, experienced in both performing live shows and also in hosting/playing jam nights. Also compose, record and promote my own original music (usually a bit of a bluesy bend between blues,acoustic, alternative and rock styles).
I have played in bands over the last 30+ years, and also alone as a solo act. I also do quite well bresently busking in the metro and streets of Montreal.
