Tim "Johnny Vegas" Burton

Tim "Johnny Vegas" Burton (born John Timothy Burton) is a saxophonist for the band The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

Burton grew up on Martha's Vineyard with two brothers, Steve and Sledge. His father was a minister and his mother was an art teacher. Tim attended Martha's Vineyard Regional High School. After graduating from Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts, he and some friends formed a band that eventually became the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

At some point he was tagged with the nickname Johnny Vegas. "When we started we were really young, but I was a few years older than some of the guys in the band," said Burton. "I used to go to the horsetrack, and I drove an Oldsmobile, played golf. And they thought those kinds of activities were pretty funny. It was pretty un-punk. So they just tagged me with Johnny Vegas."

Burton married his wife, Kristie, in Las Vegas in 2002 and they moved to Hollywood, California. They now live in Jacksonville, FL. Tim continues to work on films, the latest being "The Year of Getting to Know Us" and HBO's "Recount."

Tim produced and performed on Victims of Circumstances 2007 debut Album "Do It Yourself" available on Financial Records.

Tim Burton co-founded Financial Records, an indie record label based in Clearwater FL
