Lionel Burns, fully Lionel J Burns Sr., is a New Orleans native who started singing at the young age of 5. Since then, he’s opened for big names like Freddie Jackson and The Neville Brothers. With a range that spans three octaves, Burns has established himself as a vocal force to be reckoned with. Along with his tenor, his showmanship and stage presence make him and his band one of the best Maze tributes in the Bay Area.
