Artists

Dallas Burrow

Every time he steps on stage, Dallas Burrow dedicates a part of his set to telling a story about his dad and his relationship with Townes Van Zandt. The two became blood brothers, which inspired the title of Burrow’s stellar LP of the same name. The album ponders Burrow’s relationship to his own lineage and history, while also exploring the world he’s building with his family. “I wanted to tell the story of my musical roots, starting with my dad and his influence as a songwriter and the artists he showed me: Townes, Guy Clark, Billy Joe Shaver, and Willis Alan Ramsey,” he explains. “I also wanted to tell the story of my own journey and reframe what it means to be a singer songwriter.” These are stories that are deeply personal to Dallas, yet he sings with a universality that turns these diary entries into relatable anthems. This is an album for anyone looking for a little bit of hope during these downtrodden times, for people struggling but not buried, willing to pick themselves up.
