Burris

Described as “a gumbo of music," Burris mixes soulful vocals with jazz harmonies and funk grooves. With modern influences like Wilco, Jason Mraz, and Ray LaMontagne as well as older influences like the Funky Meters and Blood Sweat and Tears, Burris combines generations of music from all types of genres to create a unique southern sound. Originally from Lafayette, LA, Burris comprises founding member and vocalist, Christopher "Burris" Hochkeppel, and a rotating cast of collaborators. The project is now based in New Orleans. The most recent album by Burris, “Over You” was recorded at the legendary Studio In The Country with producer/engineer, Chris Finney and has had tracks featured on The Syfy Channel, and Lifetime Network, and has charted top 150 on NACC Radio Charts. The nationally touring artist has performed at French Quarter Fest, Festival International, Bethlehem's Musikfest and more. The latest single from Burris, "Flowers" was recorded Live at The Palace Studios smack in the middle of New Orleans. With 5 dear friends crowded together into one small room pouring their hearts out, this track is intimate and raw... just like love should be. Burris is set to release a live EP this later this spring of all cover tracks taken from the same session at the Palace.
