Kevin Purcell & The Nightburners: Guestbook

Jack Clavey

August 31, 2010

HI, didn't care much for your sound. You guys are obviously incapable of pulling off a pretty ballad so you resort to screaming and volume.

Barbara

August 22, 2010

Saw you guys at Mark's House of rock and roll. you guys are GREAT...

Kirk

July 31, 2010

I caught your show at Lake Zurich, and I have to say, that the crowd I was with (12 other people), we feel your band is the best band we've seen at any Lake Zurich fest to date, and we have lived in town for more then 12 years. Thanks for a great show.
Kirk and friends......

...felt like a little bit of blues fell down from the heavens onto the lucky folks standing in the parking lot at Rolling Meadows classic car show the other night...summertime miracles do happen! We will be checking you out in Lake Zurich tomorrow night, ready to romp and rock!

Jos Crosse

Wow, it has been years since I've seen you live. Total band change, different look (used to look like the cover of Jethro Tull's Aqualung album with hat). Hope you kept the purity of your origins in blues rippin'. I'll be sure to check you out at Mt. Prospect Fest.

Tami

I moved to Eugene oregon area. It would be great for you to play out here. The town would love you! I live in Springfield oregon which is right next to Eugene oregon. I know its far fetched to hope you will play out here but its worth a shot:)

I celebrated my birthday at Docks on April 17th and YOU GUYS KILLED! it was FANTASTIC!

There were some pictures taken during the night and we were told they would appear on the website in a few days. But I can't find them?

There is a relay for life going on at Deike Park in Huntley to help support cancer I think it is the first weekend in June and I will be there with braclets asking for a donation of 1.00 for the Noah Rios fund he is a 8 year old with a rare lung cancer from Huntley. Don't know if they have music for this event, but they do have summer concerts in the park maybe this would make your list!

Marcia Johnson

April 5, 2010

Kevin, Andy, Tony, and all my favorite guys...so sorry I missed another party. Even my daughter was there. I'm on the mend. A trip to Sedonda and a healer should help. It's been a long road. Love all you guys!!!!

Kevin
It was great to see you and the band last night. As always your humor and satire set the stage for a great performance. Funny story, after watching from the back of the bar for a while I tapped the shoulder of the lady in front of me and asked if she new who the gitar player on the right side of the stage was. She told me it was her husband Pete Flynn. Now I haven't seen Pete since he played at Jim's birthday after he left the band years ago so I wasn't sure it was him. I guess I just asked the right person. Welcome back Pete and you wife is a sweetheart. Tony, your as cool as ever the the rest of the guys are jam-en. Good the see Barb belting out "Wild Horses". Had the hair standing up on the back of my next. Girl you have a lot of passion in your vocals.
Best of luck to you and hang in there buddy. Just in case you don't realize it Kevin. You don't have fans, you have friends that like to party with you.
And you remember what Joe said.
"I get by with a little help from me friends".
See you soon.
Bob

I'm a high school classmate of Dean's. My husband and I loved last night's performance at Blues Bar in Mt.Prospect! We had the last two seats at the far end of the bar. If we had been up front, we would have danced the night away! Please tell Dean it was GREAT to see him...and all of you...live on stage!

Hi Kev, we just started doing business with the new Irish Pub- McGonigal's Pub- downtown Barrington.

I sent him a link to your website, he's heard you at Kaiser's when he worked for Medline. They just opened two days ago, and will be crazed before St. Patti's day, but I think you should follow up with him after that event.

His name is Bryan McGonigal,

Though he may be a little long in the tooth,
Kevin Purcell is a passionate artist.
I had the pleasure to be one of his Guitarists at one time.
He's dedicated and talented to say the least.
Might I ad, a loving Father and Husband as well.
I don't hang out in bars anymore but, for those who do by all means check him out.

Kevin
Hard to believe I haven't seen you since March. Thanks for the song "MOVING IN FOR THE KILL".
When I first met you it was at the original Nellies in the early 90's.
Why not book a date at the new Nellies and invite Carter, Maurice, Danny, and Pete for guest appearances?
Happy belated birthday!
I was out of town and you apparently didn't have a gig that week.
Bob

Etc.....Etc............Etc.............

You and the band are awsome

?????????????????

September 4, 2009

I would like to see if you could get a gig at the awesome place in Lake Villa. It's called The Lake House. It's on Grass Lake rd and Deep lake Rd. Give them a call, ask to speak to Deano Vass

????????

August 29, 2009

I have played with, and seen many great acts in my days, and the Nightburners have to be one of, if not, the best "bar band" out there.
I honestly feel your are wasting your time playing local clubs when you could be out doing a national tour. Your band has the talent, stage presence, and very good original material to play with any big name band out there.
Look into it, and Rock On!!

Karie & Tom

August 28, 2009

places you should try to play at:
Beacon Tap-Des Plaines
Harry's of Arlington Hts. on Vail & Campbell
Thornwood Bar- on Thorndale & Wooddale in Wooddale,Il
City Limits- in Barrington
and go back to Kief's Reef again

Paul Siegal

Beth and I would love for you to come on down to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. One place to check out would be Billy Bob's in Fort Worth. Great venue near the old Stock Yards in the historic Fort Worth district. Also a ton of other bars that cater to live bands.

Kevin
Hey,it would be great if you could book more dates. I check your site to see where you are playing. Not much latly. My Ex wife let me know that you were playing in MP, but I couldn't make it. What about going back to your roots? I met you at Nellies after reading about the band in the paper. One of these days I will get you to play "Hey Billie Jean" again. Nellies has a great stage now and a huge room. If you could get in there you may be able to increase your fan base for your really cool music. Also, I understand that The Slice of Chigago is reopening. They leveled the old place and built a new strip. They got a sign up but I am not sure if they are open yet. You might want to check it out. And the there is always the Village of Palatine that sponsers many music events. So there are a few suggestions. It might be nice if you actually responded to my comments. Last time I signed your guest book I got no response. And you could send me a birthday wish once in a while, since it is the same day as yours. You know this is not a one way street we live on. Tell Tony I said "HEY",Give your wife a hug and tell her that I send my condolences.
You know I am just horsing around and I luv ya.
Hang in there buddy.
Bob

Jeremy Pritchard

I think a great place for you to play would be Austins Saloon in Libertyville. They have a great stage and sound system. Hope to see you there

We spoke at your Park Ridge gig about private parties. I am interested in securing your band for Friday 9/4/2009, my husband's 50th birthday party. It wish his party could be on Saturday but I have my 30th class reunion Sat & Sun. I look forward to your availability. FYI many of our friends are harley folks so it will be a party!!

Hello Kevin and fans my wife and I were wondering where you were playing for this New Years eve I think this would be a great show to come out and see. Not that there has been any bad shows but to be able to rock in the New Year with the Night burners would be GREAT!

Barb

It would behoove anyone that appreciates good old Blues/Rock with exceptional HARMONICA as well as Guitar slinging,Drums and Bass
to go to Arlington Park where I've worked, witnessing this Band and having played with them for a few years, and had a terrific experience.
Enjoy the gambling,choose your horses wisely,drink up and avoid the PIGS.
My Best to Kevin and the Boy's

Hey Kev & Stickman:

A blues trip out West is in the making for 2009 regardless of if you guys want me to do it. My employer is ready to throw in $2000 for one of the legs in Salem, OR. I talked with Ty Curtis last week who is an upcoming Blues guy here on the West Coast and he wants to discuss coordinating manager, time, trucks, equipment, gigs, etc. with all of us (I will send his first two CD's - he is considered the up and coming Stevie Ray - 21 years old with a decent band). THE WEST COAST WANTS TO SEE A GIG WITH KEVIN PURCELL!!!!

LOVE ALL OF YOU, - MUTTLY!!!
