They have used their experiences and their visions in the writing of their profound recordings.

A perfect blend of Universal and Timeless Americana, Folk, Bluegrass, & World music with powerful lyrics and beautiful voices.

Joe Kidd & Sheila Burke

Their debut CD release Everybody Has A Purpose

was released in late 2015.

With songs like the highly charged Soldiers In The Army Of Mercy & Peace

which immediately received the 2015 Global Music Award for Folk Song Of The Year, and the universally uplifting title track, this record becomes a must for all audiences.

It has been described as sounding more like a career spanning greatest hits album, than a debut CD.

'Soldiers In The Army O Mercy & Peace has been chosen and is receiving airplay and great response in the Holy Land at the borders of conflict between Israel, Palestine, & Lebanon.

Joe & Sheila received back to back Detroit Music Awards for World Music Songwriters Of The Year in 2013 & 2014.

While onstage at Detroit's 2015 Concert Of Colors they were presented with a Michigan Governor's Award for

Artistic Excellence and their efforts for Social Justice, Peace, & Cultural Diversity by their State Representative.

On June 1, 2017 Joe Kidd was inducted into the Michigan Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

Joe & Sheila have appeared in Mexico (Hyatt Ziva Resort Hotel), Ontario Canada, and across the USA from

Brooklyn NY (17 Frost Theater), to Nashville TN (Tootsies World Famous Orchid Lounge), to Hollywood CA (Genghis Cohen Theater),
they appeared in Joshua Tree Ca (J T Saloon), Serpent Mound Ohio, The Ark (legendary folk venue) in Ann Arbor Michigan, to name a few concert appearances.

Michigan/Midwest region shows are too many to mention. A short list of recent appearances is documented in the TOUR section of this official website.

The record is enjoying international airplay in UK, Israel, South Africa, Mexico, Australia, Germany and more,
as well as countless radio and internet stations across America.

It recently received the Soldiers Of Peace Award from Ear 2 The Ground Music Blog NYC.

The CD is also receiving unanimous critical praise (as evidenced on the official website).

It is available on ITunes, Amazon, AmazonUK, and all great outlets.

The last track on the CD, 'Waiting For That Flower To Bloom' is also featured
on the new benefit compilation album titled 'Songs For Standing Rock Vol 5'.
