Biography

Hot off the heels of her 2023 garage-rock inspired release, 64 Magic Queens, singer-songwriter, Sarah Burton is getting ready to close out 2024 with her new album, Swoonville USA. A collection of songs that range from Americana to 90s inspired singer-songwriter, the album is reminiscent of artists like Sheryl Crow, the Rembrandts and The Shins, with a heavy stroke of Margo Price style country and even a little touch of the folky side of the Beatles. Producer/Engineer Jane Aurora (who also performs bass and guitar on some songs) has captured a stunning performance from a band that consists of Canadian heavyweights, Erik Nielsen (City and Color, Rich Hope) on bass, Matt Kelly (City and Color, Pink, Chris Stapleton) on guitars and keys, Leon Power (City and Color, Frazey Ford) on drums as well as some stacked guests including Mary Ancheta, Liz Stringer, Kendel Carson, Jody Peck and Cat Hiltz. Recorded at Afterlife and Capsule studios in Vancouver, BC, the friendship and camaraderie amongst the players is the perfect compliment to this group of songs that are largely about finding love and friendship, even in trying times.

Burton has called Austin, TX home part-time since 2019, but her true home may be the road. Originally from Toronto, Burton’s career started with a broken heart, a broken down van, and a haphazard tour across Canada in a van named Lucky. This set the tone for an artist life driven by adventure, spontaneity, and a desire to connect with people from all walks of life. 4 minivans, and hundreds of songs later, Sarah has released 5 albums, toured Canada and the U.S. extensively, playing 150-200 shows a year, and been selected for festivals and conferences across North America, including Mile of Music (Wisconsin), Red Ants Pants (Montana), MerleFest (North Carolina), CMW, NXNE, CMJ, and more. She has shared the stage with the likes of international heavyweight singer/songwriters Jim Lauderdale, Susan Gibson, Gordie Johnson, and Mary Gauthier.
