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. As they prepare for the release of their highly anticipated debut EP in 2025, The Burney Sisters are ready to share their unique artistry with the world. Their first single, launching Feb. 28th, 2025, will set the stage for a year of exciting milestones, including national tours that aim to bring their music to audiences across the U.S. Whether performing on stage, recording in the studio, or collaborating with fellow artists, The Burney Sisters embody the fearless, authentic spirit of indie music. Follow their journey as they carve out a space uniquely their own in the ever-evolving landscape of modern folk and Americana.
