A fantastic Co-Bill with two great songwriting acts !

Hardin / Burns & Linda McRae

$10

Guitarist Andrew Hardin and vocalist Jeannie Burns have teamed up to write,
record, and perform as Hardin Burns. After meeting at Woody Guthrie Folk
Festival in 2009, the two began writing what would eventually become their self-
released debut recording “Lounge” in 2012.
“Lounge” includes nine original songs and a cover of George Harrison’s “Beware
Of Darkness.” The duo have also recorded a two-song CD of a new original
“Ache” and Howlin’ Wolf’s classic “Smokestack Lightning.”
Acoustic Guitar Magazine included “Lounge” on its Essential Acoustic Albums list
for 2012 and called it “…an addictive set of earthy, hook-filled melodies, stunning
harmonies, and graceful virtuosity on acoustic and electric guitars.”
In April 2014 , the duo recorded their second collection, entitled “Down The Deep
Well” which will be released in the fall. Co-produced by Gabe Rhodes in
Spicewood, Texas, the recording features legendary drummer Dony Wynn and
upright bassist David Carroll.
Andrew Hardin lives outside of Austin, Texas, and is best known for his long
association with songwriter Tom Russell. He has also performed and recorded
with such artists as Jimmy LaFave, Eliza Gilkyson, Malcolm Holcombe, and Joel
Guzman. He has released four solo albums of instrumental guitar music and a
new retrospective entitled “Lost Pines” featuring noted guitarists Albert Lee and
Amos Garrett.
Jeannie Burns, the eighth of twelve siblings, lives in Ithaca, New York, and
performed with the Burns Sisters for over twenty years. The Burns Sisters
released eight albums and have toured extensively as back up singers for Arlo
Guthrie. Jeannie released an excellent solo album “Coming Up Close” in 2000.
In addition to touring in Texas, New York, Florida, and California, Hardin Burns
has recently toured Italy and Alberta, Canada. They performed “Talk Of The
Town” and “My City Was Gone” at the Barns At Wolf Trap (near Washington, DC)
in a tribute to Chrissy Hynde, and performed on the train they call “City Of New
Orleans” from Chicago to New Orleans.
What sets Hardin Burns apart from the crowd is their ability to combine traditional
musical styles such as blues and country with visionary, modern lyrical ideas.
Their sound brings to mind such acts as Raising Sand or CivilWars. Influences
include Johnny Cash, Howlin’ Wolf, Lucinda Williams, Warren Zevon,
Al Green,
the Rolling Stones, and George Harrison. In live performance, expect to hear
Jeannie’s evocative, bluesy vocals framed by Andrew’s inspired and inventive
guitar playing.
