Burns Sisters perform at 6 On The Square this weekend
OXFORD – This Sunday, December 16, at 2 p.m., 6 On The Square (6OTS) is proud to present The Burns Sisters. This special holiday musical show, that mixes traditions old and new with the famous Burns’ spunk and spirit, will bring together all ages in the joy and wonders of the season.
Growing up in Binghamton in a large family of twelve children, Marie, Jeannie and Annie’s family all sang together. Their father, the late John Burns, had an impressive career in politics, which developed a family culture that believed in standing up for the rights of all people. They still walk their talk and bring their beliefs, values and ideals into their music.
Marie, the soprano, sings high harmony, plays rhythm mandolin, and writes on guitar. She loves the old-time sounds of early country and bluegrass.
Annie is a second soprano and sings high or low harmonies depending on the song. She writes prolifically, using either piano or guitar for accompaniment, and she loves to belt out a rock ballad.
The sisters’ professional resumé includes numerous tour dates with Arlo Guthrie. They have supported him with backup vocals as well as occasionally providing the opening act. This professional relationship has served to further strengthen their passion for Americana folk music.
Although the Burns Sisters have produced solo albums, it seems their time spent apart has allowed them to explore different styles. Working back together, they have produced a new CD, “The Hills of Ithaca.” The sisters sing with the authority and passion of a band that knows its place and is comfortable challenging the audience. They present meaning with seamless melodies and amazing vocals, especially their impeccable, sweet harmonies with a smoothness only sisters can impart. The beautiful music they’ve selected for this festive concert has been collected over time and represents both holiday and winter traditions.
Unwind from the season’s stress, get a huge dose of Burns Sisters, and feel the love! Purchase tickets on-line at the discounted price of $20, (plus $2 service charge) until the date of the performance and $25 at the door. Ticket price for students, under age 18, are always $2; please call to make a student reservation! Doors open one-hour prior to show time.
While at 6OTS -or before the show- be sure to view wildlife paintings by Norwich artist, Johanna Lerwick on exhibit through Jan. 27. In addition, there’s a window display of the Oxford Academy primary school students’ Recycled Holiday Ornaments.
