Dayna Kurtz is a powerhouse vocalist, writer, musician & producer who
doesn't shy away from singing the truth and getting to the heart of the matter.
I finally had a chance to hear her in New Orleans at a music conference this past January. Her songs carried me through a range of emotions. Such a powerful presence!
She divides her time between New Orleans and Vermont and has been bestowed with many awards and praises, including being named the Female Songwriter of the Year by the National Academy of Songwriters.
Norah Jones and Bonnie Raitt have raved about her in interviews, and she’s performed on such high-profile radio shows as World Cafe, Mountain Stage and NPR’s Morning Edition and Tell Me More.
She’s toured and opened for Elvis Costello, Richard Thompson, Mavis Staples, Rufus Wainwright, B.B. King, Dr. John, Richie Havens, Keren Ann, Chris Whitley, and the Blind Boys of Alabama.
On her work and friendship with Robert Maché (Continental Drifters, Steve Wynn) Kurtz says, “I’ve loved Robert’s playing for such a long time, and we’ve been friends longer than we’ve been touring partners – he was one of the first musicians to befriend me in New Orleans. That we had such undeniable chemistry has been one of the greater recent gifts of my life"
We're honored to have her and Robert Maché on our stage.

We are so happy to welcome Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem back to the Burnham Presents stage! We are long-time fans of this wonderful band of friends.
Harmony, rhythm, indelible songs – these are the hallmarks of Americana quartet Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem, a band that’s been together for 25 years and counting. From the Newport Folk Festival to Solid Sound and beyond, this band has traveled the country offering up wit, camaraderie, and pure musicality to renew the human spirit.
Their sound is “tight, with stylish, unexpected choices” (Acoustic Guitar), a mix of New Orleans grooves, old-time gospel harmonies, bluesy swing fiddle, fiery electric and acoustic guitar, and junk percussion.
Their lockstep harmonies can shake the rafters or hush the room, and their incisive originals, unexpected covers and traditional tunes plumb the human condition with an infectious joie de vivre. “Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem dig deep into their collective souls, finding joy in the moment, peace in the harmonies, and rapture in the rhythmic drive” (The Hartford Courant).

Join us as we welcome Maya de Vitry to the stage in a celebration of her new record "All my Faith". All My Faith is a buoyant gathering of songs brought to life by a cast of her closest confidantes and collaborators. We have been fans since her Stray Birds days and love her honest and transformational approach to songwriting.
From canyons to kitchens, from cold lakes to highway truck stops, the songs form a vibrant collage of joy, sorrow, and gut-wrenching honesty. Whether spinning an inspirational tale about hungover bachelorettes at the Nashville airport or exploring the prison of our own adaptations, Maya de Vitry brings a grounded confidence and quiet charisma rooted in her belief in the power of song to change us.
Her versatility as a multi-instrumentalist and harmony singer has enriched numerous Nashville projects.

Join us as we welcome Kalos to the Burnham Presents stage!
Kalos is made up of three innovative interpreters and composers of Celtic roots music: Eric McDonald, Ryan McKasson and Jeremiah McLane.
They are masters of tradition who purposefully explore the dark corners floating on its edges, delivering an alluring musical complexity full of spontaneity and joyful exuberance. Their individual artistry is enhanced when together. In short, the sum creates a greater whole. Pulling from parallel strands of influence, they create a swirling level of intensity that traverses darkness, light, and everywhere in between. An air of mystery pervades a sound compelling enough to transcend boundaries and appeal to music lovers of all stripes.
“This trio really shows how masterful musicians listen and play off each other.
The music they create is to share, and live performance is the forte.
But their mutual attitude stretches beyond the music. They have been good friends ever since they met, and this is present in their live performances, which are full of organic banter and good humor to go along with the music. They create an environment of their own design, drawing in listeners without pretense. Despite living active musical lives thousands of miles apart these musicians have committed to working together to forge a new musical path."

Saturday January 2nd
The Seamus Egan Project
with Seamus Egan, Moira Smiley & Yann Falquet
Tickets available soon!
Please join us as we welcome The Seamus Egan Project to Burnham Presents!
We have been fans of Seamus Egan since the 90's and the early beginnings of his Celtic supergroup, Solas. Moira Smiley has been in our realm and musically enchanting us since her youth growing up in New Haven, VT. Yann Falquet's many projects including Genticorum have delighted our ears!
Click on artist names for more extensive bios.
Seamus Egan has inspired multiple generations of musicians and helped define the sound of Irish music today. As a multi-instrumentalist, he’s put his mark on the sound of the Irish flute, tenor banjo, guitar, mandolin, tin whistle, and low whistle, among others. As a bandleader, Solas has been the pre-eminent Irish-American band of their generation for the past 30 years, continuously renewing Irish music with fresh ideas. As a performer, few others can make so many instruments or such wickedly complex ornaments seem so effortless. Music comes as naturally to Seamus Egan as breath, but his mastery of the tradition is only one facet of his plans to move the music forward.
Moira Smiley is a Grammy-nominated singer, composer, and educator renowned for her mastery of the voice and ability to inspire singers of all levels. She’s published over 100 choral works that are sung by millions of singers worldwide. With a deep respect for the cultural roles of singing, Moira blends teaching, composing, and performing to empower communities and celebrate the transformative power of music. Her voice and composing are heard on feature films, BBC & PBS television programs, NPR, and on more than 60 albums.
Yann Falquet is a dynamic Québécois guitarist in the world of traditional music. He is a versatile artist who has already explored several styles and, although well-established, continues to deepen his knowledge of both creation and interpretation.
In 2000, Yann co-founded Genticorum, a Québec-based traditional music trio with Pascal Gemme and Nicholas Williams. Since then, he has traveled the world sharing the group's songs. Over the years, he has collaborated with Seamus Egan Project, Hanneke Cassel, The McDades, Olov Johanson (Väsen), Liz Carroll, Bruce Molsky, Cillian Vallely & Kevin Crawford (Lunasa) and Montréal composer Jean-François Bélanger's ensemble.

Join us as we welcome Caitlin Canty back to the Burnham Presents stage!
Caitlin Canty’s songs harness the grit and spark at the heart of American music, tempered with a voice both haunting and distinct. Her new record, Night Owl Envies the Mourning Dove (October 2025) marks a return to her roots, a grittier and more electric Americana sound.
Recorded live in the studio while nearly 8 months pregnant with her second child, the songs can be seen in the light of major shifts in Canty’s life, from pre-parenthood city life in Nashville to present day – raising a young family on a mountain in southern Vermont.
“A beautiful voice both strong and deliberate. Her stage presence is radiant and her songs pack a big lyrical punch” — NO DEPRESSION
“Profound musical and lyrical authenticity sets Canty apart [and] draws so many of the acoustic world’sgreatest artists into her corner”— THE BLUEGRASS SITUATION
Since the release of her critically-acclaimed Reckless Skyline in 2015, Canty has put thousands of miles on her songs, touring throughout the U.S. and Europe. She won the Telluride Troubadour songwriting competition at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 2015.

The first time we heard Reed Foehl, he was performing as Hades in the 2011 version of Anais Mitchell's Hadestown long before the days of Broadway. Our co-director Mark Mulqueen was the sound engineer and driver for the memorable Colorado Sings Hadestown leg of this tour. This version of the musical with Reed as Hades also made a stop at Mary's Restaurant barn in Bristol on their tour of Vermont barn shows.!
Fast forward to 2025, Reed and his band were at the Freshgrass Festival
at MassMoca and I was reintroduced to his writing and music with open ears and great appreciation of his talent.
Grammy nominated, Reed started out as a street singer on the streets of Boston and has gone on to record and release over 11 studio albums that have garnered him national attention with numerous placements in film and television and as a touring singer-songwriter.
He is set to release his 7th solo studio album in 2026. Recorded in Woodstock ,NY, with many special guests lending their talents to the project including Gregory Alan Isakov, Jeffrey Martin, Anna Tivel, Rich Hinman and Jeb Bows.
Foehl writes songs like postcards from the long way home- Weathered, honest and quietly devastating. Rooted in American folk, his music carries the weight of loss, love and survival, told with a voice that sounds lived-in and unafraid. There's a grit in the stories, grace in the melodies, and a deep human tenderness running through it all.

We are always thrilled to welcome Bruce Molsky back to the Burnham Presents stage in any collaboration he might find himself in. The Bruce Molsky/ Darol Anger show is a dream come true!
Darol and Bruce have been musical explorers together for years, sharing a creative universe that’s resulted in some epic collaborations, crashing each other’s concerts and recordings, and just finding big joy in playing together.
Described as “an absolute master” (No Depression), Bruce's take on tradition has landed him in collaborations with some of the world's most highly respected players from roots to rock. He is a special guest on legend rocker Mark Knopfler’s CD, “Tracker.” His 1865 Songs of Hope & Home with Anonymous 4, was on Billboard’s top 10 for weeks. Along with Andy Irvine & Donal Lunny, Bruce is a founding member of the supergroup Mozaik, with three recordings. Bruce holds the title of “Visiting Scholar in the American Roots Music Program” at Berklee College of Music, where he is the go-to guy for the next generation of roots musicians.
Freestyle fiddler, composer, producer and educator, Darol Anger is at home in a number of musical genres, some of which he helped to invent. Exceptional among modern fiddlers for his versatility and depth, Anger has helped drive the evolution of the contemporary string band through his involvement with numerous pathbreaking ensembles such as his Republic Of Strings, the Turtle Island String Quartet, the David Grisman Quintet, The Montreux Band, his Duo with Mike Marshall, his current touring group Mr Sun, and others.
