Appalachian Culture Music Program

Not only do The Biscuit Burners take their Fiery Mountain Music to America's finest venues, but they also take their knowledge and passion for music to schools across America. Their presentations range from history lessons to instructional lessons and are customized from students in kindergarten to high school.

From Oregon to Virginia, the Biscuit Burners have introduced and inspired America's youth in hopes to preserve this music that they have dedicated their lives to. "Our devotion towards roots music and our love of children inspired us to create a program that would trace the evolution of old time music into bluegrass and the story of the people behind it". --The Biscuit Burners

   About The Biscuit Burners
The importance of artists’ work can be measured by the response from their peers, the media, and their audience. That being said, the world has taken notice of The Biscuit Burners, and has welcomed their Fiery Mountain Music with open arms. Whether it is national praise from Aerosmith’s Joe Perry or Billy Cardine’s performance with the three-time Grammy Winning Edgar Meyer at Carnegie Hall, the musical community respects The Biscuit Burners. With appearances on BBC World TV’s “Destination Music”, National Public Radio’s “Mountain Stage”, and XM’s Bluegrass Junction, along with coverage in magazines such as Singer & Musician, Bluegrass Unlimited, Dirty Linen, American Songwriter, it is evident that the international media community supports The Biscuit Burners. With sellout concerts from Pennsylvania to California, and top bill appearances at major festivals, it is clear that their fans love The Biscuit Burners.



The Biscuit Burners

A fresh approach to acoustic music with roots that date as far back as mountain music can reach, The Biscuit Burners offer their Fiery Mountain Music with innovative instrumentation, resplendent harmonies, and captivating original material. Their unique yet familiar material pulls strong from their respect of traditional mountain music, their love of bluegrass and classic country, and their appreciation of music from the far corners of the world.

In 2004, The Biscuit Burners quickly established themselves and their Fiery Mountain Music as a complete package for acoustic entertainment. Along with being showcased at the IBMA Conference and appearing at the Historic Ryman Auditorium with Vassar Clements and Rhonda Vincent, they had their debut album chosen in the Top 10 Bluegrass Albums of 2004 by the Chicago Tribune. Their critics also chose The Biscuit Burners’ song, Come On Darlin, as the IPOD Hotpick Bluegrass Song of 2004. Carrying that momentum, the band looked to continue to grow and extend their reach in 2005. National touring and media coverage quickly grew The Biscuit Burners’ fan base. In Sept. of 2005, the band released their second album, A Mountain Apart. With this release, The Biscuit Burners presented an album full of energy, passion, and originality. A Mountain Apart is a testament to the band’s unique fiery mountain sound and was in the Top 20 of the Roots Music Report National Bluegrass Airplay chart for the first 5 months of its release.

This past year solidified the band’s presence with international media coverage and performances in some of America’s most respected venues. In 2006, The Biscuit Burners could be enjoyed across the airwaves of BBC World TV’s Destination Music, NPR’ s Mountain Stage, and PBS’ Roadtrip Nation as well as in person at over 130 concerts nation wide including: Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music, Berkeley’s Freight and Salvage, Alexandria, VA’s Birchmere, and Merlefest.

The Biscuit Burners are proud to announce the addition of Odessa Jorgensen (fiddle, vocals) and Wes Corbett (banjo) to band, joining Mary Lucey (bass and vocals), Billy Cardine (dobro and vocals), and Dan Bletz (guitar). Both seasoned and highly skilled musicians, Odessa and Wes bring immense talent and a fresh perspective to a band that is already known for their Fiery Mountain Music.

Hey BB,

Great show in C'ville the other night. Thanks for coming through town. Opening with Big Country was awesome (since I am at this moment trying to learn that tune). Billy--The Memory Book--I remembered! Unfortunately it is missing from my library. I'm pretty sure I can get it replaced.

Take great care and I hope to catch up with you all again soon.
