Write a commentThe Oswego Music Hall is proud to announce an April 22 event bringing Andrew Hardin and Jeannie Burns to the Music Hall stage located in the McCrobie Building, 41 Lake Street Oswego. Doors open at 7:00 for the 7:30 event. Advance sale tickets are available for $16.00 and at the door for $18.00.
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.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."
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.
Jeannie Burns, oft-applauded as the redhead and alto voice of the singing Burns sisters, lives in Ithaca, New York, and performed with the Burns Sisters for over twenty years.
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 Civil Wars. Influences include Johnny Cash, Howlin' Wolf, Lucinda Williams, Warren Zevon, and the Rolling Stones., In live performance, expect to hear Jeannie's evocative, bluesy vocals framed by Andrew's inspired and inventive guitar playing
...”Hardin Burns finds the sweet spot where folk,country,rockabilly,jazz and Latin stylings meet. Jeannie Burns expressive vocals recall the throb of Dusty Springfield and the grit of Lucinda Williamsn. Hardin plays with the virtousity of Eric Clapton and the ease and sensinility of JJ Cale”. ...–Celine Keating .Contributot,minor 7th.com and Acoustic Guitar Magazine
