Why We Love The Kyle Rowland Blues Band!

Michael Burton Productions,LLC


We would like to introduce Kyle Rowland to you and really explain the reasoning behind our choice of spearheading such a huge campaign. 
Why we Love The Kyle Rowland Blues Band! 
On October 2, 2011 during a show in Sacramento,CA, I would meet 18 year old Harmonica Player Kyle Rowland while hanging out with others in the Music Business, I was amazed, and it was evident where this young talent was headed. We immediately went into a "Let's discover a mutual music focus on where we can assist Kyle Rowland in taking the music, and that proverbial light went on in our mind, and that was to bring National & International attention to this amazing young talent. 
It’s not often you are able or in the right place to get in on the ground floor of something special and that you love doing, and so Michael Burton Productions put into play the next chapter in an impressive life story.

Kyle's Biography!
Kyle Edward Rowland was born on June 8, 1993 in Sacramento, California. With a stretch of the imagination, one could say that Kyle has been playing the harmonica since birth. When he was just a baby, his father put a harmonica in his crib. For his first couple of years, Kyle used his harmonica as a pacifier/teething ring. Kyle's first memories of playing the harmonica are when he would sit along side his father and listen to him play the harmonica for fun. One day when Kyle was 10 years old, his father heard harmonica music coming from the front yard. He went outside and was amazed to find Kyle playing the Blues. In May of 2004, at the age of 10, Kyle was sitting in front of a stage during the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee listening to “Mick Martin and The Blues Rockers”. Kyle quietly began to play along on his harmonica and when Mick heard Kyle playing he asked him to join the band on stage. This was the beginning of Kyle's venture with the Blues. Shortly after the festival Kyle began taking lessons from Mick Martin. Kyle feels privileged to be learning from Mick who is known as one of the best blues harmonica players in Northern California.
Since that day in 2004, Kyle has played with some of the Blues greats such as James Cotton, Hubert Sumlin, Norton Buffalo, Roy Rogers, Tommy Castro, Jerry Martini (founding member of Sly & The Family Stone, and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductee), John Juke Logan, Frankie Lee, Barry (The Fish) Melton from Country Joe and the Fish, Nick Gravenites from Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Frank Hannon from Tesla, Angela Strehli, Zakiya Hooker, John Mayall, Mark Hummel, Rick Estrin, Kenny Neal, James Harmon, Charlie Musselwhite, John Nemeth and Rusty Zinn and others. Kyle has performed at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee since 2004, at the California State Fair since 2005, and at various other festivals in California and Nevada, including the popular Monterey Blues festival. Kyle can be found playing with the 'The Kyle Rowland Band' and sitting in with other bands in the area, such as: Mick Martin & the Blues Rockers, Gary Mendoza, Mere Mortals, Darrell Mansfield and others. Kyle's band is comprised of experienced adults with more than 30 years of musical experience each. Kyle released his first CD in Oct 2009 titled, "Kyle Rowland, Messin with the Kid, a Tribute to My Blues Heroes" and a second in 2012 titled "High Rollin'". He has also received 'the blues harmonica player of the year, and blues new artist of the year' in 2009 from the West Coast Blues Hall of Fame Award show. Kyle's joy of performing and love of the audience's response are visible in his showmanship. He is a natural, and thoroughly enjoys playing the harmonica.

This is where our Social Media Family comes into play.
The 40 Days & 40 Nights Kyle Rowland Blues Band Blues Tour, will be the crowning legacy for Michael Burton Productions. Since 1974 Michael Burton Productions has exemplified Pre & Post Productions, we have worked with some of the best known Musicians, Companies, Agents, Managers, and Professionals in the Industry, and now it's time to work with the People that I've served for these 40 years.
Michael Burton the original Stage Manager of Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, is taking the stage back in 2013 with the "40 Days & 40 Nights Kyle Rowland Blues Band Blues Tour" across the Country and we need your help.
We started out with an Open Letter, as an introduction from Michael Burton Productions to our Friends and Social Media Family showing how extensive our marketing efforts, where are listed Blues Clubs & Blues Radio Listings from across the United States, because we strongly feel The Kyle Rowland Blues Band would make an impressive showing with the following these Blues Establishments already have in place.
The range of seating differs between them; from 150 to 400 paying customers, and in doing the figures with ticket prices kept at a reasonable price, any return on investment, doing as many as 200 performances throughout the remainder of the year would be substantial.

The logistics of Band travel State to State.
How does Michael Burton Productions plan to collectively transport upwards of 8 Band & Crew Members to these establishments? Can you say Coach!
Since 1977 as Stage Manager for Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, the comfort of transporting Band & Crew was handled with Tennessee Coaches, and as second driver, the logistics were learned first hand.
Plausible; you bet it’s plausible, a money maker any way you look at it. Now we need you our Social Media Network Family to make it happen.
If you could have faith in an old road warrior that has the respect an dedication to get the job done.
And that’s the whole honest story, now you decide, if it will be worth your time and money.
As a post note, if after reading and you decide to contribute your hard earned money, I will give notice on our website after any accolades won over the next year;
