Burnstick

Bring your own chair!

It’s folk music that’s brimming with the kind of chemistry that could only come from a husband and wife. Jason, a Plains-Cree guitarist, and Nadia, a Francophone-Métis singer-songwriter, create the are award-winning duo: Burnstick. Two performers whose voices and languages blend together with ease, Burnstick pushes the boundaries of contemporary folk music, weaving together the unique sounds of vintage Weissenborns with intriguing vocal harmonies, while allowing the beauty of simple melodies to shine through. It’s hard to deny the magic they create as they command the stage with their palpable performances. In 2015, created an award-winning all-original lullaby album that married languages and bridged cultures. Coming back to their folk roots, Burnstick has released its JUNO-nominted debut album, Kîyânaw, featuring thunderous singles “Pay No Mind” and CFMA Single of the Year “Some Kind of Hell”, topping the charts of NCI’s Indigenous Music Countdown in Canada.  With this album, Burnstick encourages the reclamation of each other’s respective cultures while choosing to be stronger, together.
