The Burns Sisters come to the Oswego Music Hall for a 7:30 p.m. concert on Saturday, April 29. The doors open at 7 p.m. at the McCrobie Civic Center, 41 Lake Street in Oswego.

The Burns Sisters have shared the stage with many great folk legends, including Arlo Guthrie, Tom Paxton, Pete Seeger, Odetta, Willie Nelson and even the Boston Pops. They have played in Ireland and Thailand and graced the stages at Carnegie Hall and the Grand Ole Opry.

Annie and Marie Burns as a duo create uplifting, transcendent music filled with warmth and conviction. Stirring and reverent, their passionate, seductive harmonies and lyrics are bursting with spirit and soul. The Burns Sisters are renowned for their pure harmony, beautiful lyrics and joyful energy.

The Burns Sisters have been through many different configurations over the years. They started as a trio, and at one time, all five sisters sang together. Now a duo, Marie and Annie release music on their own label, Sisters Music. The two have written and produced  - together and apart – approximately 20 CDs.

Following a tour in Ireland, where The Burns Sisters played established music festivals, they started to look into their own family history. The sisters were compelled and inspired to write and record their new project “Looking Back, Our American Irish Souls.” The Celtic-infused Americana album is gathering attention in Ireland, Wales, UK, Scotland and Canada, as well as the U.S.
