Kevin Purcell & The Nightburners: Press/Reviews

…Kevin is one of the most talented harmonica artists I have ever heard…audiences always seem to want more.

...the audience has come to know Kevin Purcell and The Nightburners for a brand of roof-thumping boogie-woogie that tears through dancing shoes like tires on a NASCAR track…the fiddle player is out of this world, the guitarist is mind blowing no matter what he does. He'll take a ballad and shred it. And the bass is a serious rock 'n roller. That's what he was weaned on….

…they're just a damn good band. I've seen people just stand and watch the band slack-jawed in some sort of attempt to glean some of the energy coming from the stage…I can't get those songs out of my head….

…and the final song is a showcase for Kevins' excellent harp playing which explodes on this final blow-out number which sees the band tearing up the place and is a fitting end to this powerful live recording by a classy band….

…very intense showman…been known to come down in the audience and sit on laps, dance from table to table, and dance across the bar…some of the best music this side of the Mississippi…

…Purcell and company have proven that their style (of music) is a major force to watch for from a new generation of performers. The intense showmanship of this rockin' blues band will give the right combination for a great evening of live music and fun…

Kevin blows up a storm but leaves plenty of room for the rest of the band to show their stuff too. Nobody holds back…these guys kick butt!!

Andy is capable of doing unbelievable things with the fiddle…he can create sounds with the instrument that are much akin to guitar than violin…when he plays, people commonly react by dropping their jaws and staring in wonder…

He bound from one end of the stage to the other with an energy that the crowd wildly fed from. It was a fast paced show through and through…I couldn't help but praise his intense showmanship.

Fun, fun, fun. What a band, what a harmonica player. Kevin is like Pan with his flute – he prances and dances around the stage and magic comes out of his instrument. He is another harmonica player that just blows me away…one of the best bands I've heard…
