Biography

Music from The Burned has been featured as the ending highlight song on CHASE (NBC), MAKE IT OR BREAK IT (ABC Family), GOSSIP GIRL (CW Network) and CRASH (Starz). Mike Marrone, Program Director for The Loft on Sirius XM says, "This is one of the best albums I have heard in a long time!" In addition to having 5 tracks added to The Loft's playlist, The Burned has also garnered substantial play on over 30 Tripl A radio stations including #1 Spin at KBAC in Santa Fe and #3 Spin at KMTT in Seattle (receiving the same number of spins as Adele).

The Burned is the music of Kurt Baumann, a project poignantly described as EPIC rock music. Baumann is best known for his recent lead vocal work with Grammy award winning DJ Adam Freeland and as the lead singer/writer for the tour-rich rock band Kan’Nal. With The Burned, Kurt defines his solo career through what we love in music: timeless musicianship, epic songwriting, vivid visuals and, most of all, raw, unstoppable energy. Over the course of his career he has made music that defies trends yet defines generations. Past reviews on projects proclaim: “the concerts are spectacular!” (The Washington Post); “[Baumann’s] music takes us back to the basics: simple, raw, power,” (Jambase); “likely to be as much a part of this 21st century phenomenon as the Rolling Stones and Beatles…” (The Rock & Roll Report).

With The Burned, Kurt Baumann channels the raw enthusiasm of his prolific past into a format that hints of bands like Pink Floyd or the Moody Blues, while firmly establishing the new face of rock.
