The Burnt Pines released their self-titled debut album in 2021 and it was acclaimed by critics, spending 11 weeks on the AMA/CDX Top 50 Americana Album Chart and earning a Top 10 spot on the Roots Music Report’s Best Albums of 2021 year-end list. Their second album, “Don’t Look Down”, explores themes of divorce, escapism and redemption with gentle, mesmerizing melodies and instrumental artistry. The band, consisting of members based in both the U.S. and Portugal, faced logistical and personal challenges in the midst of a global pandemic. Their music draws on the guitar-vocal craft of Bruce Cockburn, Coldplay, Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, and Sufjan Stevens, and is characterized by strength, resilience and hope.
