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 International Bluegrass Music Association 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.

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.

The Biscuit Burners are Shannon Whitworth (clawhammer banjo, acoustic guitar, and vocals), Mary Lucey (acoustic bass, vocals), Billy Cardine (resophonic guitar, banjo, and vocals), Jon Stickley (mandolin, vocals) and Dan Bletz (acoustic guitar, vocals).
