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.
