PROFESSOR BURNS AND THE LILAC FIELD: An Intimate Evening Of Soul Stirring Indie-Folk

“Definitely headed to great places,” writes the San Francisco Chronicle about Indie-Roots-Folk band Professor Burns and the Lilac Field. With a rich history as a poet, community organizer and university professor, Burns is a rare bird of a songwriter. Teaming up with accomplished San Francisco musician Courtney Browne, the two offer a sonic journey that cracks open the heart and mind with vivid narratives and infectious melodies drawing comparisons to the likes of Iron and Wine, Ben Harper, Mason Jennings and Ani DiFranco.

“Word wizardry with roots moving forward–a powerful sound with an understated and captivating presence” – Rupa and the April Fishes

“Professor Burns’ poetic tunes are the three way love child of Woody Guthrie, Chuck D, and Mary Oliver.” – Will Grant

“You know when you’re rushing somewhere in the evening and then come around a corner to unexpectedly catch the lingering sunset and your heart seizes then nearly bursts? That’s Professor Burns and the Lilac Field. Sean Burns and Courtney Browne reminded me how pretty, how delicate, music can be.” – Jennifer Savage, Lost Coast Outpost
