He was influenced by the music of the 60`s and 70`s and Bands out of San Francisco such as Jefferson Airplane and The Dead.
Burrie's Songs are rooted in the entire tapestry of the American lexicon. “I did spend some time looking at classical Indian Ragas as well as the music of J.S. Bach .... My dad loved Brazilian Jazz and even Opera, we had every Beatles record in our house for sure.”
