Jane & Kyle

Canadian fiddle champions Jane Cory and Kyle Burghout join forces to create a unique sound characterized by lush twin fiddle harmonies, intricate arrangements, and heartfelt compositions. Having toured extensively across Canada, performing at high-profile festivals, competitions, intimate house concerts, and community dances, Jane & Kyle bring an infectious energy and warmth that captivates audiences.

Jane, a Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Champion, and Kyle, a North American Irish Fiddle Champion, each bring a wealth of experience and accolades to the stage. Their musical partnership is a seamless fusion of talent, deeply rooted in the vibrant fiddling traditions of their upbringings—Jane in Manitoba and Kyle in the Ottawa Valley. Their music reflects these traditional styles, while also featuring contemporary tunes written by fiddlers from across Canada and beyond, including many compositions of their own.

Building on the success of their debut album, Of Hills and Valleys (2021), Jane & Kyle released their sophomore album, Many an Open Ground, in April 2025, accompanied by a Canada-wide tour. The album features world-class guest musicians, including Alanna Jenish (guitar, mandolin, step dance) and Tyson Chen (piano). This new project showcases their artistic evolution, presenting a fresh collection of original tunes and reimagined classics that highlight their deep musicality and shared vision.

Beyond their performances, Jane & Kyle are passionate leaders in the fiddle community. They serve as directors of the Gatineau Hills Fiddle Festival in Chelsea, QC, and as board members of the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Association, contributing their expertise to help promote fiddling nationwide. As dedicated educators, they teach fiddle lessons to students across Canada, both in-person and online, and inspire musicians of all ages as guest instructors at various fiddle camps.
