ABOUT THE BURNETT SISTERS BAND
Bluegrass, old-time, and folk music lovers alike can’t get enough of 2025 IBMA Momentum Band of the Year Nominee, the Burnett Sisters Band, as siblings Anissa, Sophia, and Anneli from Boone, NC along with Geary Allen from Minster, England are all gifted multi-instrumentalists who are well-loved in the traditional music circuit. The band brings an exciting energy and modern flair to each performance, while remaining true to the traditional roots of the genre.
For years, each individual member has dominated the fiddler convention and music festival competition circuit. Most recently, the band took home the top prize at the Merlefest Band Competition; as well, Anissa won the prestigious blue ribbon for Old-Time Fiddle at the 2024 Old Galax Fiddlers Convention and Anneli won the first place trophy in Folk Song, both competing against hundreds of singers and fiddlers. These talented individuals also find time to keep traditional music ways alive and well as instructors for the Watauga Junior Appalachian Musicians program. Anissa is ETSU alumna and a beloved old-time fiddle and band instructor at Bluegrass, Old-Time, and Roots Music Studies program at East Tennessee State University, and Geary is a sought after guitar and band instructor in the same program, as well as a private guitar and banjo teacher. Sophia and Anneli continue to pursue traditional music as sophomores at ETSU in Johnson City, TN.
To assign a genre to the Burnett Sisters Band would be to oversimplify the breadth of their musical influences –– at a typical show, a driving bluegrass standard might be followed by an old-time fiddle tune, a classic Hank Williams song, a recognizable Geary Allen original, or a soaring gospel melody, all topped off with a flatfooting dance number by Anneli. With the release of their two new original singles “Sorrow, Grief and Pain” and “The Song of the Mountains” on Pinecastle Records, the band’s fan base has significantly grown and landed them leading spots in major bluegrass and folk festivals around the world.
