Event Description
Burs
“Toronto-based folk-rock quartet Burs wash over each moment with absolute warmth and homestyle harmony. Tenderness is maintained as gentle strings trade places with perfectly deployed moments of untamed, cathartic release. Above it all, vocals sway with striking vulnerability through themes of love, grief and the search for peace in the modern condition.” -Sled Island [June 2023]
Burs is comprised of members Lauren Dillen, Ray Goudy, Devon Savas and Aidan McConnell, all of whom share roles as composers, producers, and multi-instrumentalists. Taking their name from ‘the small things that stick with you’, the band began in 2019 when songwriters Dillen and Goudy met through a Joni Mitchell ensemble in college, inspiring the duo to begin writing together. Through the same program, Dillen and Savas had also shared a handful of collaborations, eventually sparking the wo partnerships to unite. The trio invited McConnell to join Burs in early 2023 after meeting through a musical mutual, Danny Webster, completing a memorable slew of shows as Webster’s backing band.
