Burnstick

Music has been at the heart of this dynamic kinship since the duo met over a decade ago. It’s no surprise that their songs are timeless and incomparable. Burnstick’s signature sound is driven by Jason’s proficient playing of 100-year-old Weissenborn lap slide guitars, resonating intently with Nadia’s rich and striking vocals. Together, Burnstick pushes the boundaries of contemporary folk music. It’s hard to deny the magic they create as they command the stage with their palpable performances and harmony-laced songs. In 2019, Nadia Burnstick, francophone-Métis, and Jason Burnstick, Plains-Cree, released their JUNO-nominated debut album, Kîyânaw (Cree: Us), featuring thunderous singles “Pay No Mind” and CFMA Single of the Year “Some Kind of Hell”.  Furthermore, with their unique ability to compose authentic and expressive soundscapes, they have worked on a multitude of award-winning film and television projects throughout the years.  A family unified and guided by music, Burnstick has no plans of stopping anytime soon, as they are set to release their sophomore album in the spring of 2024.
