Bob Burger is a singer-songwriter from Pennsylvania that moved to the Jersey Shore area in the late 1980s. I first saw him when he was a member of the Bobby Bandiera Band. He would later do a regular duo show with Bobby for years.
Burger is an excellent songwriter and often wrote songs with Glen Burtnick. After years of performing Beatle concerts together, Burger and Burtnick would be bandmates in The Weeklings. That band has released several albums and Burger continues to release solo records as well.
My favorites include "Piano at the Bottom of the Elevator Shaft", "The Love of You", "The Guitars Are Takin' Over", and the title track.
The Makin Waves Song of the Week is "Shine" by Princeton singer-songwriter Helen O'Shea. The song from Helen's latest album, "“Songs in the Key O," features E Street Band backing vocalist Michelle Moore.
