to perform
By Mark Munn
Staff Reporter
One of Lincoln’s finest will dis
play his irreverence at the Summer
time Nebraska Festival this weekend.
Charlie Burton and the Hiccups are
scheduled for take off at 4:10 p.m.
Saturday on the Mainstage at 8th and
P streets.
This year marks the ten-year anni
versary of the band’s prolific career.
The musicians in the Burton orches
tra include Phi! Shoemaker, legen
dary guitarist extraordinaire, Dave
Robel, the skin-beatin’ machine, David
Boye, dogmatic bass god, and of course,
Charlie Burton, the magnetic lyricist/
guitanst/entertainer.
’Green Cheese.” the band s fourth
L.P, recently was released on Wild
records. The alburn was recorded and
produced by Shoemaker in his base
ment. It has received national recog
nition and is a hot commodity in
record stores. According to Slioemaker,
1
there are not too many cluttering up
the basement.” You better rush out
and get yours while you still can.
Charlie Burton and the Hiccups
could flow through many forms of
music but choose not to. They did
draw some of their inspiration from
rockabilly but cannot be pigeon-holed
in such a way. They are anything but
the “pompadoured posers” that Burton
makes reference to.
Playing songs lhatdistill all eras of
savage rebelliousness, they are four
sensitive guys who care little about
their personal appearance and much
about making you fee! what they call
the “BIG BEAT!”
Burton has an intense, demented
stage presence. If Elvis were alive, he
would have to be jealous. Burton’s
deep, powerful voice can creep into
your soul, He finds a bit of comedy in
every aspect of the world and knows
how to put it to song. |L
