Often I think to myself,\u00a0“I wish there was an artist who captured the vibe of some of my favorite classic artists from the twentieth century.”\u00a0<\/em>The music industry is growing and developing to find a constant new sound, but what about those of us who long for something nostalgic?<\/p>\n

Enter the Burkharts: a family band based out of Buffalo, New York, looking to encourage a sixties-style music renaissance. The group “calls back to a Californian 60s sense of wonder and innocence, glazed over with an indie jangle.” Think The Beach Boys<\/a>, but with a modern twist.<\/p>\n

The group recently released their first EP titled\u00a0Who Are The Burkharts?\u00a0<\/em>complete with six happy and wonderful songs that fit the aesthetic of summertime and beach days; the cover even imitates a stereotypical classic album cover from the sixties.<\/p>\n

To put it simply: The Burkarts are the hidden gem you didn’t know you needed. So sit back, relax, and let their music remind you of a simpler time.<\/p>\n
