BURR ISLAND: Burr Island are an Alternative Indie Folk duo, from the West Country. Their close harmonies and introspective lyrics take you on an intimate, melodic journey in search of meaning and value.
.
The duo, comprised of best friends Tom England & Oskar Porter, explore themes of growth, beauty and truth searching in their music. The pair take their inspiration from the works of Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, Crosby Stills & Nash, Nick Drake, The Beach Boys and Cat Stevens as well as modern Artists like Johnny Flynn, Fleet Foxes and Big Thief.
.
With BBC Radio 2’s Mark Radcliffe describing them as “shades of Simon & Garfunkel”, the West Country pair are certainly ones to watch. The duo grew from strength to strength in 2022 with several headline shows, plus recording at Kundalini Studios in Devon with Steve Cradock (Ocean Colour Scene, The Specials). In September ‘22, they supported Steve Pilgrim & Paul Weller at Union Chapel in London, before embarking on their biggest venture yet, a UK December Tour with Ocean Colour Scene, playing at multiple o2 Academy venues and music halls. In June they supported Tunde (Voice of Lighthouse Family) on his UK Tour and they reunited with Ocean Colour Scene for their UK Tour in December ‘23, which they played with a full band at venues including Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith.
