Sean Burns is proud to announce the upcoming independent release of his fourth full-length album, Music for Taverns, Bars, and Honky Tonks, on March 9 2018. Inspired by legends such as Ray Price, Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Bush, the album was recorded at Hillside Hideout, at Alexander, MB and Tres Mariachis in Nashville, TN. The album was produced by Canada’s guitar wizard Grant Siemens, and recorded and mixed by Scott Franchuk, JUNO and Polaris Prize nominated engineer. A heavy-hitting roster of musicians with decades of success in the traditional country music industry play on the record.
Multi-instrumentalist Grant Siemens has spent the past 14 years touring and recording with Corb Lund. Grammy-award winning Harry Stinson sang harmony vocals. Stinson plays drums and background vocals in Marty Stuart’s band, The Fabulous Superlatives. Chris Scruggs played console steel guitar and is the grandson of famous bluegrass banjo player Earl Scruggs and the bass guitarist in The Fabulous Superlatives. And for one track, Sturdy Woman, Canadian Blues legend Big Dave McLean plays harmonica. He’s won JUNOs, WCMA’s and Maple Blues Awards. Winnipeg’s Joanna Miller on drums and vocals and Bernie Thiessen on bass fill out the sound.
“Music for Taverns, Bars and Honky Tonks is not a purposeful attempt to sound “vintage”, it’s simply what I’ve always wanted to do, traditional country music.” – Sean Burns
TOUR BAND – LOST COUNTRY: Ryan “Skinny” Dyck on Pedal Steel; Joanna Miller on Drums/Vocals; Grant Siemens on Guitar; and Bernie Thiessen on Bass
