A little about the Burney Sisters
The sisters started singing around the house when they were barely able to walk. With some vocal coaching from Mom, they began harmonizing long before they picked up instruments. Olivia found her first love in a one dollar garage sale ukulele. After a few online tutorials, she was well on her way to being the performer and teacher she is today. Currently, Olivia writes the bulk of the tunes that the sisters perform, including their single “Constellations” and the popular “Plastic,” which appeared on their debut 2017 EP.
Not to be outdone by her older sister, Emma picked up the guitar at the age of 9, and began learning songs of her own. Now, she helps Olivia with all of the arrangements and harmonies and has expanded her instrumental arsenal to include bass, banjo, keys, and a recent revival of her love for the fiddle. Their soul nurturing sibling harmonies and tunes are reminiscent of The Avett Brothers, Cowboy Junkies, and Indigo Girls. Their follow-up EP, “Where We Stand” was released in 2018 by St. Louis label Gaslight.
