“We’re very excited for this release,” said MTS’ Michael Stover. “Gary has shown growth from his first single with us. ‘Like That’ is his strongest performance to date…the song is fantastic and Eric (Gunderson) did an amazing job on production. I think the whole album is going to make people sit up and take notice of Gary Burk III.”
ABOUT GARY BURK III: Hailing from Western Pennsylvania, Gary Burk III’s musical journey began at age 9, while riding along with his dad to their family camp. There was a song playing on the radio…some old-time country tune that touched Gary in a way that would change his life forever. Drawing inspiration from his biggest influences, Alabama, Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan, Gary fronts his 4 piece band of outlaws, performing at events across the region. Gary’s extensive collection of guitars includes a Custom Built Signature J&B Customs Tele-Style, as well as a Gibson Les Paul Robot Series In Manhattan Blue. He uses a Line 6 M16 module played through an Egnater Tweaker 40 amplifier.
