Doug Burr's flavor of backwoods roots and smart pop hooks has been described as conjuring Lucinda Williams on a revival high. After years of wood-shedding his songwriting, Burr emerged from his bedroom, the coffee houses, and open mics to begin playing out at bars and clubs in his home state of Texas. His successes include numerous local music award nominations and multiple national song-writing competition wins. He's been quietly winning people over, receiving nice press, and getting material recorded.

"Doug Burr delivers enough heartbreak to drive you to the edge of the bridge, and just enough hope to keep you from jumping. Rugged and pristine, this is music that gets under your skin and goes straight for the heart like a shot of morphine." - Real Roots Cafe, Holland

"Doug sings with sound and fury, like he was layin' down and dyin', like he would never sing again." - Dallasmusic.com

"Burr is a fine writer who thinks about things; whether or not we agree with his fervid Gospel of promised light in a dark world, his music moves." - Buddy Magazine

Doug Burr 's "Always Travel Light" appears on The United State of Americana, Volume Two, and his classic, award-winning "Dark as the Night" appears on the debut issue of The United State of Americana.
