Who Are The Burnettes?
"For a couple of decades or more, Vancouver's The Burnettes have done their best to not be noticed while making some of the most informed and poetic misty indie rock music..." -Beatroute Magazine 2011.
Husband and wife duo, Chris and Cora Burnette, have been leading The Burnettes through dimly lit bars for over a decade now. Employing an effortless haze of guitars, banjos and serrated vocals, the five-piece are roots-rock’s answer to the slacker-rock movement.
Their fifth album in the works, they have joined forces with multi-instrumentalist Kelly Hood, bassist Craig Nasen, and drummer Tom Tischer (National Shield, The Pernell Reichert Band).
