About Burnstick
Burnstick is folk music that’s brimming with the kind of chemistry that could only come from a husband and wife. Jason, a Plains-Cree guitarist, and Nadia, a Francophone-Métis singer-songwriter, create the award-winning duo: Burnstick. Their voices and languages blend together with ease as they push the boundaries of contemporary folk music by weaving together the unique sounds of vintage Weissenborns with intriguing vocal harmonies, all while letting the beauty of simple melodies shine through.
