The Jeremy White Show welcomes Corey Glover from Living Color and Joe Burcaw!
Hartford CT musician Joseph Burcaw finds inspiration everywhere,
even in the headlines we see in the news. His latest project
Bearclaw+The Balance Brigade and their debut EP “Four On The Floor”
was inspired by becoming a first-time father during the pandemic. Stuck
at home when COVID-19 closed everything, he says thinking about the
world his daughter will grow up in made him anxious to spark
conversation and to make change by giving back. He reached out to a
few musician friends and began writing and recording virtually for two
years. His new EP has an R&B/Dance feel that features the soulful voice
of Living Colour vocalist Corey Glover, and a cameo from guitar
shredder goddess Mrs. Smith on the Sylvester disco cover of “You Make
Me Feel (Mighty Real)”. The music delves into subjects from racism,
domestic abuse, immigration freedom to gay rights. This new project's
objective is to tackle and shed light on topical situations that don't always
get mainstream attention. Burcaw, an exceptional bass player whose
friends call him Bearclaw, is a bandleader and educator who has run the
music school Bearclaw’s Academy of Music in the Litchfield hills of
Connecticut for almost eight years, and toured with the NYC-based
Celtic rock band Black 47, for nearly a decade. His new music comes
out late November/early December. He’s also planning a spring 2024
concert w/Glover that will be a fundraiser for underprivileged music
loving kids who need instruments and who cannot afford music lessons.
At the end of the day, it’s about giving back to your community and using
the power of music to unite people. Burcaw and Glover have had an
established working relationship & friendship for years collaborating on
different projects outside of this latest venture.
