Life Less Lived: An Evening With Gordon McKinney & Heather Burns

Gordon Mckinney is a singer-songwriter from Oklahoma. He weaves stories of heartache, love, loss and hope with layers of delicate finger picking, self deprecating humour and vulnerability into a picture that is our combined experience. His songs read, sound and feel like our most secret of diary entries.

Gordon’s partner, choreographer and dancer Heather Burns, has created several movements for some of his songs that captivate audiences with her grace and poise and allow them to “see” the songs come to life.

Together, both in life and in performance, they are seeking to open their hearts as wide as love allows. You’re invited in.

“The man (Gordon McKinney) is laying his soul bare so the rest of us can know we’re not alone. It’s not just great music. It’s a deeper act of courage than any of our ears have a right to expect.” Jason Krena, Music Producer, review of the album “Life Less Lived”

“What a fabulous night at the Grayston Unity last night. Gordon McKinney on tour from Oklahoma performed a perfect 90 minutes of such brilliant and emotional songs.” Michael Shaw, Writer and Singer for the Boothtown Rats, Halifax, UK
