Burning Sky Band

Kristy Johnson - Lead Vocals Kristy was born and raised in the Dallas area and has studied music since childhood. She studied vocal music through elementary, middle and high school, and then went on to study vocal performance at Stephen F. Austin State University on a vocal scholarship. Being classically trained in vocal music has helped her develop a three octave range that lends to being able to cover many different artists and styles of music. She can belt out the high notes and power through our rockin' set list like nobody's business. Kristy has performed with a number of bands and projects in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, including Silverado, Poetic Justice, Free Fall and Harbor Sounds - specializing in everything from rock to country. She has also functioned as a judge in vocal competitions such as the 2013 North Texas Idol Contest in Richardson, Texas. She has a true passion for music and loves performing. You will also see Kristy as "Ann Wilson" in the Dallas area Heart tribute band, Even It Up. Glenn Johnson – Guitar, Vocals Glenn is our hot shot. Our secret weapon. Our“utility” guy – he's able to switch from acoustic to electric guitar as needed, but is also able to add keyboards or pick up a bass. He can even add brass instruments into the mix if the song calls for it. Glenn has a long history with music and has covered everything from classical music with the Ft. Worth Youth Orchestra to extensive experience with a number of local rock bands since the 80s, including Holland, Script, QSL and Rockit Science. Glenn is also a huge asset vocally. With a smooth timber and a flair for harmonies, Glenn’s vocals add dimension and texture to Burning Sky. Glenn also plays with Even It Up - The Ultimate Heart Tribute Band. Jeremy Thornton - Lead Guitar This native Texan was born in Oak Cliff and has been tearing it up on guitar since he was 17. Heavily influenced by the sounds of Joe Bonamassa, Joe Satriani and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeremy is an excellent musician with great style. ​ Jeremy has played with a number of bands in the D/FW metroplex and has also spent almost 20 years as a worship leader and lead guitarist for many north Texas churches. He also teaches guitar, but his talent and contribution to the band doesn't stop there. He's got an amazing voice and brings incredible tenor vocals and harmonies to Burning Sky. ​ Jeremy plays a gorgeous, blue-flame custom K2 electric from Buddy Blaze Guitars. He's got plenty of personality to keep everyone laughing, and trust us when we say that the party kicks into full gear whenever he's around! Brian Fulenwider – Bass Guitar, Vocals Brian is a proud Texan who grew up in Mesquite, Texas. Other than a 4-year hiatus when he lived in Alabama, he has lived in the DFW area all of his life. This guy knows how to rock the bass and brings the magic every single time. Brian started playing bass at age 13. As a teenager, he sang and played bass guitar for his church youth choir group. The group toured every summer, performing the musicals Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar at churches throughout the country. Brian brings 20+ years of experience performing at a variety of establishments around the metroplex. You'll love his bass groove, but be ready to also be blown away when he steps up to the mic to sing. Brian also plays bass for Even It Up - The Ultimate Heart Tribute Band. Chris Irpino – Drums Chris, a very cool character who originally hails from Chicago, began drumming at the age of ten. By the time he was in high school Chris had mastered a variety of percussion instruments and soon became drum section leader for the high school marching band, jazz band, concert band and orchestra. Although his tastes in music were broadened by these experiences, his heart was set on playing drums in a rock band. His first band experience was in a band called Brass Accent in which he had the privilege of playing with the amazingly talented Sucherman brothers (Paul and Joel) whose brother Todd now plays drums for Styx. Since that time, Chris has played in numerous rock bands, contemporary worship teams, and a variety of studio gigs in Chicago, Indianapolis, and Dallas. Burning Sky is proud to have his fantastic level of talent in the band! His playing style is inspired by Todd Sucherman (Styx), John Bonham (Led Zeppelin), Neil Peart (Rush), Phil Collins and Stewart Copeland (Police). Chris also plays drums for Even It Up, The Ultimate Heart Tribute Band. Burning Sky is setting north Texas on fire with a mix of rock/classic rock and progressive country.
