In The Round with The Burney Sisters, James Farrell, Pete Jive & Brandon Reisdorf - SOLD OUT

The Burney Sisters, comprised of sisters Emma and Bella Burney create music with a maturity and emotional intelligence that belies their age. They write keen and knowing songs while arranging for multiple instruments and structuring unique and resonant harmonies.  The result-personal and penetrating music that both connects with and captivates their listener. Their soul nurturing sibling harmonies and tunes are reminiscent of The Avett Brothers, First Aid Kit, Lake Street Dive, The Staves, and Joseph.

When Pete Jive sings, charisma glides out of him and hugs you. A Pete Jive performance is an all-in, no one left seated affair, where Jive locks eyes, ears, legs, voice, fingers, and rapt attention around his audience. You don't hear a Pete Jive set; you and Pete live through it, together—that's the charisma-colored coolness Pete brings to every performance.

Do your soul a solid, lace up your dance shoes, boogie on over, and experience an American flat-picking classic crooner.

James Farrell has toured the world as a keyboardist for many known artists, including Brett Eldredge, Matt Nathanson, and David Nail, among others. And when he’s not on the road or working on his own music, he is producing up-and-coming artists out of his home studio in Nashville, TN. James is very serious about not taking himself too seriously. He may wear his heart on his sleeve, but he doesn’t expect you to cry about it. Instead, he prefers to find the humor in the heartache and extraordinary in the routine.

James was born and raised in Chicago and educated at the prestigious Berklee College of Music.

Brandon picked up the violin in ’99, and the guitar a year later. He went to college to study Music Theory, Composition, and Philosophy. and began writing all sorts of original music for things like a string quartet or chamber orchestra.

After experimenting for several years, he found myself drawn to that “three chords and the truth” that’s a little easier to find in folkier traditions.

Wandering his way through the bluegrass world, into the music of John Prine, Kris Kristofferson, Townes van Zandt, he found himself hooked on figuring out the art & craft of songwriting.

Brandon will be releasing his second album in 2024.
