Show Description: Texas singer-songwriter blending folk, country and alt-pop with a side of witty banter.
Bio: The adage is home is where you hang your hat. And for Ottawa born singer-songwriter Sarah Burton -- who has moved from Toronto to Terlingua, Texas, and now resides in Austin -- that idea is at her core. Now with her latest stellar batch of songs, Burton is tossing another dart on the map: Swoonville USA, her superb sixth full-length effort. The album, the followup to 2023's 64 Magic Queens, is a finely-tuned, dynamic, and genre-defying collection that recalls Sheryl Crow's The Globe Sessions for its high quality lyrically and musically. It's an album that should also make many critics' year-end lists judging from the bubbly "Might As Well Be Loved," gems like "Montana" and "Oklahoma" and the gorgeous lead single "Worth Sticking Around For." Swoonville USA is another standout effort for Burton who was passionate about music from an early age, spending most of her youth in Toronto. Influenced by a myriad of genres, Burton issued her 2008 debut EP Love Is For Pussies and debut album Mayflower in 2010. After releasing Make Your Own Bed in 2015, the singer relocated in 2016 from Toronto to Texas "I'm a nomad at heart," Burton says. "I feel connected to alot of places." Having played festivals such as Mile of Music, Merlefest, North By Northeast and Canadian Music Week and shared the stage with Jim Lauderdale, Big Sugar's Gordie Johnson, Susan Gibson and Mary Gauthier among others, Burton is eager to take Swoonville USA to the masses.
