After a three year stint as a dirty townie in Athens, GA, J Burton moved back home to Lafayette in 2004 and started a little folk band called Dire Wood. The band grew into to a five piece fully electrified rock main-stay and their 2008 release The Escape charted on college radio stations across the US. Then in 2009, inspired by the quirky rock of Brian Eno, J started the bombastic indie-pop group FIGHTs. That band’s 2013 release, Music For Villains, reached #1 in several markets upon it’s release. In February, 2016, he was the Rhum Room’s Featured Artist of the Month. Catch him live tonight!
