Vincent Flatts Final Drive
Armed-to-the-teeth with original music, Vincent Flatts Final Drive are a full-on, southern-infused, good-time, country rock ‘n’ roll band.
Now, if you don’t know the band yet, you’ll feel like you do once you see them live. Stephen “Bertie” Burton fronts the band, and his killer voice and come-one-come-all stage presence hits every last person right between the eyes. Come see for yourself. He’s the real deal.
In the 80s, Bertie fronted UK rock band Starfighters, touring the USA with AC/DC on their Back in Black tour and Ozzy Osbourne on his Diary of a Madman tour.
In the 90s he fell in love with country music. The real kind. And it was then the Flatts was born. Fast forward 20 years and Bertie’s high-octane, no-holds barred approach to life and living took its toll.
After some much-needed time out, he joined three other musicians (each nearly half his age) to reform his baby. Together, they've become a force, with critics likening their live performances to legends like Little Feat, and modern acts like Blackberry Smoke and the Zac Brown Band.
Since then, the band has performed at venues and festivals across the UK, Europe and Scandinavia. They've also recorded an EP, an album and have a whole slew of new material.
