biographical info
Canadian blues/roots recording artists, Holly and Jon Burdon, hail from the mountains of southern British Columbia - the Kootenay's, to be exact - and you'd be hard pressed to find another daughter/father act with as much going for them as these two. Not only do they compliment each other with their playing and singing (Jon's blues drenched guitar with Holly's stellar vocal chops) but they write great songs together; and those vocal harmonies are the kind that can only be achieved by members of the same gene pool.
The album " Big Wind on the Way ", released in 2005, has received airplay on stations across the country and world wide on Satellite radio. They have played shows with Canadian and international artist such as Juno Award winners, Colin James and Jeff Healey, great vocalists such as Ruthie Foster, jazz men like The Brubreck Bros, legends like Leon Russell and award winning blues artists including David Gogo, Paul Reddick and Harry Manx.
Holly and Jon have been described as "pure smokestack lightning" and "the rockin'est daughter/father duo you are likely to hear". Holly's voice has been spoken of as "soaring from deep inside the well of Aretha Franklin and Eva Cassidy".
