Reviews:
The Hollywood Reporter: Ghostbrothers of Darkland County: A Theater Review
"Among the musical highlights is the classic rock-sounding "How Many Days," put over forcefully by Burke sounding uncannily like Mellencamp; .... The exception is Burke, displaying a compelling charisma as the troubled paterfamilias. "

New York Times: Blood Brothers, Their Feuds, for Generations
" Mr. Burke has a rich, husky baritone and capably transmits Joe’s stolid determination to keep history from repeating itself."

Digital Journal: Review: 'Ghost Brothers of Darkland County' is great, has room to improve
"while the actors played their roles magnificently, particularly the ever-smooth Jake La Botz and tormented Billy Burke, "
