The Burnett Sisters Band

Bluegrass, old-time, and folk music audiences continue to be captivated by The Burnett Sisters Band, a 2025 IBMA Momentum Band of the Year nominee. Hailing from Boone, North Carolina, sisters Anissa, Sophia, and Anneli Burnett, alongside Geary Allen of Minster, England, have earned a reputation as exceptional multi-instrumentalists and dynamic performers deeply respected throughout the traditional music community. Signed to Pinecastle Records and represented by Wilson Pickins Promotions, the band delivers performances that blend youthful energy and contemporary appeal with a steadfast commitment to the rich traditions that inspire their music. While rooted in traditional music, the Burnett Sisters Band’s sound reflects a variety of influences that extend beyond any one genre. A typical performance may move from a hard-driving bluegrass classic to an old-time fiddle tune, a timeless Hank Williams favorite, an original composition by Geary Allen, a stirring gospel number, or an engaging flatfoot dance by Anneli. This musical versatility has become one of the band’s defining strengths. The release of their original Pinecastle Records singles, “Sorrow, Grief and Pain” and “The Song of the Mountains,” introduced their sound to an even wider audience, fueling a growing fan base and earning invitations to headline major bluegrass and folk festivals across the United States and abroad.
