What is Burnt Biskits?
The Burnt Biskits concept is an “open floor plan” musical/comedy group. This means we intend to keep the composition of the group flexible in an attempt to share with you the talents and styles of our many musical friends. The regular Burnt Biskits are musicians John Pierce and Janice Jillson. Other musicians who have collaborated with us on stage and in the recording studio include: Gary Hinkley, Susanne Hinkley, Steve Jensen, Matt Dwyer, Colin Flynn, Steve Hanson, Terry Keefe, David Miller, Thad Miller, Teresa Ghormley and many others.
The primary genre and instrumentation of Burnt Biskits is bluegrass including guitars, banjo, bass and mandolin. In addition to standard bluegrass, we enjoy presenting musical comedy, old-time gospel, folk and oldies rock-n-roll. We perform a number of original tunes, as well as familiar favorites.
Our primary objective at every performance is to have fun: both for us and for our audience. Contact us for bookings at: banjoman@burntbiskits.com.
Check out our albums “We Play Better Than We Cook” and “Smokin'”, available from all major music download platforms or we also sell physical CD’s or download cards.
