Burnstick

About

It’s folk music that’s brimming with the kind of chemistry that could only come from a husband and wife. Plains-Cree guitarist, Jason Burnstick, and Francophone-Métis singersongwriter, Nadia Burnstick 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, they created an award-winning all-original lullaby album that married languages and bridged cultures. Coming back to their folk roots, Burnstick released its first two singles, "Pay No Mind" and "Some Kind of Hell", topping the charts of NCI's Indigenous Music Countdown. And in 2019, their song "Prayer" was featured as the closing theme for the important award-winning documentary: nîpawistamâsowin: We Will Stand Up, for which Jason also composed the film's score. Burnstick has released its long awaited debut album "Kîyânaw" on September 13, 2019. With this album, Burnstick encourages the reclamation of each other's respective cultures while choosing to be stronger, together.
