Burnstick
“When Burnstick’s rich, profound sound began filling the church walls, it became abundantly clear why the duo is so acclaimed.”
- Allister White, The Carillon
Burnstick is a Canadian folk music duo forged from passion and unfiltered emotion — where two voices become one powerful musical force. Anchored by the resonant Weissenborn lap slide guitars of Plains-Cree guitarist Jason Burnstick and the rich, poetic songwriting and harmonies of francophone-Métis vocalist Nadia Burnstick, their sound is at once cinematic and intimate. Drawing from a decade of life lived fully — as partners in both art and life — their music carries stories of love, loss, belonging, and the sacred ties that shape who we are. Guided by a fearless creative spirit and unafraid to push boundaries, Burnstick creates soul-stirring landscapes that challenge listeners to feel deeply and reflect inward. Backed by their drummer, Nadia and Jason perform deeply resonant music that always strikes a chord with audiences. JUNO-nominated and critically acclaimed, they stand not only as musicians but as storytellers of heart and human connection.
C’est une musique folk née de la complicité qui ne peut exister que chez un couple marié. Le guitariste Cri-des-Plaines, Jason Burnstick, et l’auteure-compositrice francophone-métis, Nadia Burnstick, sont deux interprètes pour qui les voix s’entremêlent avec aisance. Jason s’équipe de Weissenborns, de guitares « lap slide » et d’une écriture dure et franche tandis que Nadia rayonne grâce à ses harmonies vocales séduisantes et ses paroles pénétrantes et honnêtes – on ne peut nier la magie qu’ils évoquent lorsqu’ils sont ensemble sur scène. En 2019 ils ont lancé leur premier album folk-roots, Kîyânaw, nominé pour un prix JUNO en 2021. D'ailleurs, leur extrait Some Kind of Hell a remporté le prix "Single of the Year" aux Canadian Folk Music Awards. Ensemble, Burnstick crée une musique folk rafraîchissante et captivante.
