The Burnettes are Cora and Chris Burnette.

The Burnettes have been making music together for 10 years. They are currently working on their fourth album, and are planning a June 2010 release.

This Vancouver based duo is a combination of Cora's penchant for roots and standards, and Chris's love of old school punk-rock. The result is some wacky, fun-lovin' toe tapping kitchen-party-pop peppered with harmonies, easy melodies, and more than a few shoe-gazing numbers in between.

With the exception of two or three guest appearances (check credits) The Burnettes are responsible for all of the instrumentation on their albums. Cora's vocals, rythym guitar, drums and keyboards can be found on the majority of the songs, as are Chris's vocals, bass, and guitar.

Their LIVE SHOW is typically a somewhat stripped version of their recordings which profiles the unique musical dynamic between them. Dueling distorted acoustic guitars with the odd keyboard or lap organ...um, yes lap organ.

In their shady past, The Burnettes been known to tour with a little help from their friends (Jay Kreway - Field Day, Tanya Gordon - All Woman Brothers Band). In other words, don't be surprised by a whole different backing line-up the next time you see them.
