BluesBurners

Powerhouse Singer K.C. Camarillo is the heart and soul of the band. She rocks the room with her soulful style.  KC began her musical career as a child in her hometown of Oakland, singing and acting in musicals at Woodminster Amphitheater. She was strongly influenced by the music she heard growing up in the East Bay . KC has been inspired by Bonnie Raitt, Lydia Pense, Tower of Power, James Brown and Chaka Khan. She's got soul and she's super bad!

   Talented Rhythm Guitarist and Frontman David Camarillo is the driving force of The BluesBurners tight rhythm section. He shows off his Oakland roots as he lays down some funky Eastbay grooves. Like all of his bandmates, DC's been playing music for over 50 years. He's got a passion for the music, and it shows.  DC's energy always gets the party started!

 Lead guitarist and vocalist David Burke has been playing guitar since he was a teen in Northern California. He can play and sing any style of music.  DRB not only impresses on guitar, but he's also a real heartbreaker when he sings the blues for you. Davey has played with such legendary NorthBay bands as Sonny & The Blenders and The Aces. With an exciting style and great vocals too, Dave is essential to The BluesBurners signature gritty guitar driven sound.

Drummer extraordinaire Brad Hoffman has been drumming professionally for years and is well known in the Bay Area.  Versatile, creative, dynamic, and stylish, Brad adds another very spicy layer to The BluesBurners mix. He is so valuable that we call him "The Asset"! You can also see Brad with his brother in their awesome band, The Dictator Tots. Check em out!

Providing the bottom groove, Bassist Jim Allen is a veteran studio musician and live performer. Raised in Los Angeles, Jim studied music at UCLA and worked with many outstanding musicians including Richie Havens, Kai Winding, Danny Elfman and members of Oingo Boingo. Jim is a true pro who has played in clubs and festivals throughout California. He has shared the stage with Charlie Musselwhite, Lydia Pense and Cold Blood, Rick Derringer, Jefferson Starship, Shuggie Otis, and Bruce Willis. After relocating to the Bay area, Jim has performed and recorded with many local musicians including Sonny & The Blenders, Jackie Payne, Bautista, and Jami Jamison. 

Saxophonist David Schrader   is simply one of the finest tenor players around. He's been in demand for decades throughout the Bay Area. The BluesBurners are extremely happy to have David in the lineup. His stellar musicianship and years of stage and recording experience combine to bring another degree of professionalism and excitement to the band.  Here's just a little sample of his resume: The Drifters, Volker Striffler, SF Symphony, The Temptations, Shade, The Coasters, San Francisco Saxophone Quartet, and more...

On  Vocals and Percussion we have the lovely and talented Anna Marshelle. Her sweet and soulful harmonies add the perfect smoky finish to the BluesBurners gumbo. Ms Marshelle is an accomplished and dynamic singer who has performed all over the world. You may have seen her singing the National Anthem at the SF Giants games! Anna started off singing in her local church as a child and has never stopped performing. Her joyful stage presence is a testament to her love of music and dance.
