 If
you are looking for a great acoustic rock/pop CD, look no further
than the Kathi Burg Band. Kathi Burg writes the lyrics and sings
vocals. Tim Burg masters the bass, while Johnny Suzano plays the
guitar.
Their
newest CD is entitled “The Making of Easy.” Their other
CDs are “Acoustic Album” (2001) and “All Those
Things Thought on and Hoped For” (1999).
Their
root sound combines acoustic guitar, deep bass, piano and Kathi’s
voice — part soul, part folk, and the other part sweet! They
hope you will take a journey with them to transform your fear into
hope and to show you “The Making of Easy” with God,
all things are possible!
The
Kathi Burg Band has performed at Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach,
Coors Amphitheater, Del Mar Fair, coffeeshops, and churches. They
call North Coast Calvary and Canyon Hills their home churches. They
have been on the hits chart on MP3.com.
What
inspires them beyond piecing together their in-depth musical style
is their message. In every song there is a message of hope. A song
with a great message on their newest album “The Making of
Easy” is “Undone.” It starts off with Irish Uilleann
Pipes and an Irish Whistle. “...I just find myself here in
this cesspool of fear feeling less dignified, feeling less dignified.
And I’m feeling a little undone (though I walk through the
valley) and a little like looking to Jesus (of the shadow of death)
to see what the cross won (I will fear no evil) to understand what
it is that frees us. I can understand a little bit, the fear of
possibly losing it, and I’m wondering if those devils we see
following people, relentlessly aren’t so far from you and
me and need to be taken more seriously.”
As
you let the music minister to you, Tim, Kathi and Johnny have some
advice for you. Tim wants you to know “the will of God won’t
take you where His grace can’t sustain you.” Kathi says,
“Jesus loves me in spite of my doubts.” Johnny says,
“God’s still out there, trust your gut, (that means)
God is pulling and telling you there’s another direction you
can go.”
Go
to God. Let Him make you “Free” (another great song
on the album). “Oh, but I still get weary and sometimes I
feel lost and I still cave into fear. I still see progress as out
of my reach even though He’s standing right here...But I know
time and distance won’t separate us, all You do is hold my
hand and I’m free...”
Other
great songs are “Every Broken Part,” “Goodbye,”
“Making of Easy,” “Good Enough For a Song,”
“Less Than,” “So Happy So Sad,” “Like
You,” “One Thing” and “Choice.”
