Introducing Sully Burrows, a rising talent in the world of country music hailing from Parry Sound, Ontario. On the brink of his eighteenth birthday, Burrows’ thoughtful lyrics and soulful melodies are poised to capture the hearts of country fans across Canada and beyond.
Burrows’ upcoming project, titled "Youth," is set to release on May 3rd under the banner of Royal City Music Group, an independent label based in Guelph, Ontario. With "Youth," Burrows conveys a powerful message about cherishing the present moment, drawing from personal experiences of loss, growth, and nostalgia.
“You always think you have time,” Burrows reflects, “but things can change, and the things you love could be gone faster than you expect. This record is about enjoying the time you have because no matter what you do, you can't buy back your youth.”
The EP’s title track was co-written with chart-topping country artist Owen Riegling and it happened to be Sully’s first co-writing experience . Drawing inspiration from his upbringing in Parry Sound, Burrows connects with listeners on a deep and meaningful level, sharing personal struggles and moments of reflection with honesty and vulnerability.
While rooted in country music, "Youth" also embraces elements of Americana and Roots, creating a unique blend that is sure to resonate with listeners of all ages. His musical influences include acclaimed artists such as Riley Green, Conner Smith, and Chris Stapleton, whose storytelling prowess has left a lasting impact on his songwriting.
“My favourite part of the process is performing,” he beams. “I love sharing my music and building off the energy of the venue.” For Burrows, it comes back to creating memorable experiences that resonate long after the final chord has been struck.
Burrows acknowledges the challenges of growing up and finding one's place in the world. Yet, he finds strength in his family, mentors, and faith, channeling life's struggles into poignant songs that touch the hearts of all who listen.
“I haven't had many hardships,” Burrows admits, “but I'm sure there will be more in the future. I’ve been told I write ‘old soul’ songs and ‘Letting You Go’ is definitely one of them. I wrote it after losing somebody close to me and reflecting on how their spouse must wish she could see him one more time.”
Join Sully Burrows on his musical journey and experience the heartfelt storytelling of "Youth," coming to all major streaming platforms on May 3rd, 2024. As Sully himself says, "Let’s enjoy the moment we’re in, because it won't ever happen again."
