Biography

A singer and songwriter of uncommon resonance, Doug Burr was born in 1972 in Dallas, TX, growing up in a Southern Baptist family, the spiritual residue of which has been a lifelong influence on his musical endeavors. Burr took up the guitar at age 16, and by 18 he was writing songs. After a dozen or so years of home recording, open mikes, church performances, and coffeehouse gigs in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, he began fronting the roots rock band the Lonelies. In 2003 he independently released “The Sickle & the Sheaves,” an ambitious and atmospheric gospel concept album produced by Deadman’s Steven Collins that worked around the themes of birth, death, and renewal and brought him a good deal of critical attention. The equally impressive “On Promenade” appeared in 2007 from Spune/Velvet Blue Music.

    Met him when he was performing at a local record shop. Really cool guy, bought his new album on vinyl and he's absolutely brilliant.

    Just discovered him thanks to the To The Dogs Or Whoever music blog. Thing About Trouble is stunning.

    Listening to Thing About Trouble and hearing/feeling a lot of Ryan Adams. That's a good thing... Great track
