About Carand Burnet: Carand Burnet (she/her) is the lead guitarist and songwriter of the band Kioea (keo'a?). Her music, a fusion of surf rock, psychedelia, and global influences, has been described as “simultaneously modern and vintage” by J. Swartwood (Aquarium Drunkard).

The upcoming solo performance at 3S Artspace will feature songs by Kioea, an electric sitar set, and instrumentals from Burnet’s project, Angel Lake. Bandcamp recognized Kioea for their EP and album, Stand Tall, which they hand-selected as New & Notable releases. Bandcamp’s Editorial Director notes, “The debut LP from Kioea is dreamy psychedelic surf music that calls back to the ’60s while feeling remarkably contemporary.”

Doyle Dean, host of The Dean’s List on NCPR, notes that “Burnet’s guitar playing owes a little bit to the sound of The Ventures, Dick Dale, and the 90’s Canadian daredevils of the form, Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. But her singular voice owes just as much to that of Sonny Rollins – lost in the madness of a late 1950s session for Riverside. It’s that departure Kioea offers.” Burnet has performed at venues including The Music Hall, The Thing in the Spring Festival, the Center for Maine Contemporary Art, and the WMUR Summer Concert Series. Burnet received a Maine ARP Grant through SPACE Gallery and the National Endowment for the Arts, which supported the making of Kioea’s album Stand Tall. ----
