Canadian recording artists and songwriters, Holly and Jon Burdon hail from the mountains of the Kootenay’s in southern British Columbia.

Influenced by the soulful feel, honesty and simplicity of the blues, the story telling traditions of folk and country and the melodies of contemporary music, Holly and Jon play a genre hopping blend of music that leans heavily on contemporary blues but also offers elements of alt/country and shades of jazz and swing, imbued with the spirit of rock and roll. These folks are genuine songwriters who excel at playing, singing and performing and their years of playing and singing together provides the foundation for their remarkable music. Holly’s stellar vocal chops, which have been described as “Smooth and soulful; combining an innate sense of melody with jazz phrasing and blues feel” and Jon’s red hot guitar work, together with their resplendent vocal harmonies make this duo an incomparable combination of talents. Whether playing as a duo or with their band they continue to gratify audiences and receive critical acclaim wherever they appear.

They were a hit at the Kaslo Jazz Fest in 04, where they played as a duo and shared the bill with Juno award winners Colin James and Jeff Healey, The Brubreck Brothers and Ruthie Foster and were also the opening guests for the legendary songwriter, session man, producer, piano man, Leon Russell the same year. In the summer of 05 they played the Whatshan Lake Music Festival with BCCMA award winners, the Cruzero’s and virtuoso finger style guitarist, Rick Bockner. In October, '05 they released “Big Wind on the Way”, their 1st CD of original material. The album saw airplay and chart action on radio stations across the country and world wide on the Sirius satellite network and selected tracks continue to receive regular airplay today on stations, including CBC Radio. In '06 they returned to the Kaslo Jazz Fest, this time with a full band, headlining the Up Stage and rockin’ the record breaking crowd into the evening. Also on the bill were Maple Blues award winner, Paul Reddick, Juno award winner, Harry Manx, and Ray Charles former sax man, Fathead Newman. 2006 saw them return to the Whatshan Lake Fest which, that year, also featured singer, songwriter, actor and activist, Tom Jackson.
