From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kevin Burke is an Irish fiddler. He was born in London to parents from County Sligo in 1950. He took up the fiddle at age eight, eventually acquiring a virtuosic technique in the Sligo fiddling style. He later became a member of the well known Irish traditional music groups The Bothy Band (in 1976) and Patrick Street (in 1986). He settled in Portland, Oregon in 1979.
Burke was a 2002 winner of the National Endowment for the Arts' National Heritage Fellowship.[1]
