Allie Jean Burbrink is a folk musician whose first love is singing. She plays guitar, clawhammer banjo, harmonica, piano, ukulele, old time fiddle, mandolin, piano, upright bass, feet, or whatever other random instruments she finds interesting. She studied banjo with David Brose during her first trip to John C Campbell in 2011.
Allie is best known for her work with The Whipstitch Sallies (folk/songwriter/bluegrass - Indiana), Frank & Allie Lee, and The Freight Hoppers (old time - North Carolina). Her children’s folk album, SING & PLAY ALL DAY, was released in 2022. Her new record, BLOOM AGAIN, is a collection of 20 songs and tunes highlighting the contributions of women in old time and folk music.
"In her wonderful new project, "Bloom Again," Indiana's own Allie Jean Burbrink brings listeners along as she navigates the hearts of hills, hollers, and towns large and small. Her rich singing sounds as at home on a Carter Family number like "You Are My Flower" as it does on the great Carole King song, "I Feel the Earth Move." Along the way is solid banjo, guitar, fiddle, bass, and harmonica (all played by Allie Jean), plus a guest appearance by Jude Odell. Highly recommended! ~Joe Newberry
In addition to performing, Allie is a community music educator with a passion for personalized and collaborative music instruction. She has taught individuals and groups at Blue Ridge Old Time Music Week, IBMA, Indiana Fiddlers' Gathering, Hindman Settlement School, local libraries, music stores, festivals, camps, her home, and the Indiana Fiddle Frolic where she serves as program director.
Now a single mom, she making a children’s album and online lessons while also developing a repertoire of crowd-pleasing solo material for performing locally at house concerts and concert halls. She has opened for rising alt country/folk stars IV AND THE STRANGE BAND, WILLI CARLISLE, and TODD DAY WAIT.
The Folk School features some of the finest regional and national acts performing eclectic roots music. We’ll have standard seating available, first come first serve. We also have a family-focused social area of picnic tables in the back. You’re welcome to bring your dinner, card games, carving, sewing project, or set up on the grass and let your kids play.
A donation of $5-15 per adult is suggested, but all are welcome regardless of contribution. Folk School Students and Staff are not asked to donate. Any funds raised support traditional arts and help us strive for equitable pay for performers.
