Burning Karma

Genre: Funk | Rock | Soul The guys in Burnin' Karma have been playing in bands for a long time. I would guess their combined experience is about 413 years. What I'm saying is, they are old. Well, some of them are old. One guy is kinda young, but all of this is relative, right? But they have experience. Real-world experience. They have played Blues, Rock, Funk, Pop, Punk. You name it, they have played it. And people have actually paid them money to do it. Hard to believe, I know. But let me tell you, these guys know how to play. Not like Eddie Van Halen, mind you, but when they get together, they make people move. I'm talking real rump shakin'. You know, like when the place gets hot and people start taking their clothes off. That kinda playing.
