Rand Burkert

I play 6 and 12 string guitars and sing...; I am also a farmer, farm activist and teacher of applied ecology -- Permaculture and Restoration Agriculture. My musical influences are eclectic as all get out: Leo Kottke, Taj Mahal, Peter Rowan, Mississippi John Hurt, Odetta, Bob Dylan, Jethro Tull, Bob Marley, Louis Armstrong... I have recorded two CDs: one of original songs for children, "Mouse and Lion: Blues for Aesop," and one a compendium of 19 well known songs and medleys, "Cave Art."
