ABOUT BRENDA BURCH
Brenda Burch infuses Country music with Pop, Rock and Soul. A petite powerhouse.
Genre: Country: Contemporary
Country
From the time Brenda was a baby,
her parents were well-aware of, at least, the sheer volume of her voice. Her
dad recalls her crying louder than any baby he’d ever heard. Projecting her
voice came in handy at three years old when she made her performance debut
singing for an audience of two thousand.
She began singing
professionally at age six, recording the theme
song for an educational film and later recorded vocals for commercials and
national children’s albums.
Growing up, Brenda listened to and
performed a wide range of music, but Country music always felt like home. She
also studied piano, dance and excelled at sports. As quarterback for her junior
high Powder Puff football team and captain of her high school volleyball team,
athletics played a big part in her life, but music was a constant companion.
Back in 2009 act WILD WILD
WESTT featured the powerful vocals of Salt Lake City's Brenda
Burch and the writing / guitar playing of Michael Adrian who had been writing,
recording, and playing for over 20 years touring Canada and the USA
extensively.
Their debut CD featured a wide range of country influences including honky tonk, rock & roll, Nashville pop, country ballads, and Southern rock. The title cut got some airplay in the UK ("I think she's got a terrific voice" - Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire)

The song is classy with a smoky

In June 2015, she launched a crowd
funded project via Kickstarter for a new EP titled SPARKS WILL FLY. She had the opportunity to record the project in Nashville, TN with a
talented team who brought the right vibe and gave the songs a real chance to
fly. She commuted back and forth between Salt Lake City and Nashville many
times, and costs added up.
The project was successfully funded
by 86 backers who pledged $12,545 of a $10,000 target to help bring
the project to life.
The SPARKS WILL FLY EP (BB Music
Group), which dropped on March 25, 2016 (Amazon UK | UK iTunes | Amazon.com | CD Baby), provided a vehicle for Brenda’s western roots to shine through
while fusing traditional elements with a modern vibe. Her catchy tunes are
filled with straight-shooting, cleverly crafted, self-empowering lyrics and
melodies that she hoped to share as far and wide as possible.
"Sparks Will Fly", which she wrote with Bryan Edwards and produced by the team at
4 Music Productions, released digitally to country radio on January 14, 2016 by
SMG Records Nashville.
Later in the year it was promoted
to Europe on the August 2016 Hotdisc #212 promotional disc and was a smash hit after debuting at #1 on the Hotdisc Top 40 (chart dated Aug 7, 2016) and reigned atop the chart for 6 weeks and stayed
on the chart for 13 weeks until Oct 30th.
BOOM! The buzz was powered by her
video which aired for multiple weeks on The Hotdisc Top 20 TV Show via Keep It
Country TV (Sky 389, FreeSat 516, FreeView 87,Vimeo HD)
It is wonderfully catchy, fun and
flawless and easily one the best singles released anywhere in 2016, LOVE IT!
At the end of the video you’ll see her holding sparklers that malfunctioned and lit her thumb on fire right before the camera started rolling! Burch pretended her thumb was not melting and that everything was fine, Ouuch!
She >> shared it was a fun song to write. It’s dedicated to anyone who’s ever been in the dating world and wished they could take the best part of one person and the best part of another person and combine those traits to make the perfect love match for themselves".
Track 3 on the EP “No Better Time” climbed all the way to #1 on the USA fan voted Country charts (Website | Twitter).
According to Burch there were 1000
radio stations in the USA and Europe playing her music, and she is immensely
grateful for all the support!
The song and video were first released back on May 13, 2014 (Amazon UK | UK iTunes | Amazon.com | CD Baby), and softly love song describes the longing felt when the one you need most isn't around to hold onto.
A heartfelt, relatable lyric coupled with strong yet tender vocals. Hover over the Facebook Video and set volume:
