The Burney Sisters, the Americana sensations from Huntsville, Alabama, are embarking on their “Seed I’ve Sown” tour and will perform a live concert on Wednesday, March 19th at Bishop Hill Creative Commons, located at 309 N. Bishop Hill St, Bishop Hill, IL. The show will begin with a potluck dinner at 6PM, with music starting at 7PM, and is open to guests of all ages. A $20-30 donation is suggested.
The Burney Sisters are a powerhouse sibling duo redefining indie-folk with their soulful harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and magnetic stage presence.
Originally from the Midwest, sisters Emma and Bella Burney create music that blends folk, rock, and Americana into a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. Drawing inspiration from iconic artists like The Avett Brothers, Lake Street Dive, and Bonnie Raitt, as well as contemporary trailblazers like Madison Cunningham, First Aid Kit, and HAIM, The Burney Sisters bridge generations with a style that is uniquely their own.
Emma’s multi-instrumental talents—on piano, violin, guitar, and cello—pair seamlessly with Bella’s commanding basslines, showcasing a maturity and versatility far beyond their years. Their music explores themes of love, resilience, and self-discovery with a raw honesty that resonates deeply with fans of all ages. For the past eight years, The Burney Sisters have traveled extensively, performing across the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean. Their journey has not only shaped their sound but also fueled their passion for connecting through music.
In April 2024, the sisters relocated to Huntsville, Alabama, to immerse themselves in the rich creative ecosystems of their hometown, Muscle Shoals, and Nashville. Excited to collaborate with the incredibly talented local artists, the sisters have embraced Huntsville as a home base, deepening their connection to the vibrant music scene while continuing to grow as artists and performers.
The Burney Sisters captivate audiences with their infectious energy, ethereal harmonies, and storytelling that feels deeply personal yet universally relatable. Their music resonates with fans of both classic Americana and modern indie-folk, blending the emotional depth of Bonnie Raitt with the innovative spirit of HAIM and First Aid Kit.
Bella Burney expressed her enthusiasm about the tour, stating, “We are so excited to get back on the road to share our new releases with you. The time we’ve spent crafting these songs with other writers, artists, and studios has been thrilling, challenging, and ultimately rewarding.” Her sister Emma adds, “Bringing these new songs live to our fans is something we’ve been looking forward to for so long. We hope to bring you the very best LIVE versions of these treasures to the stage!”
