Jon and Ben Burchfield make music that inspires the soul. Combining such styles as Smoky Mountain Jazz, Gospel and Classical, along with a bit of Irish flavoring, this unique duo from Nashville, Tennessee, mesmerizes audiences of all ages. Jon is a master of Classical Guitar, while Ben performs with an instrument called the Mallet Kat, which can be described as a midi-marimba. Played with either mallets or hands, the Mallet Kat has unlimited sounds ranging anywhere from percussion to orchestral. When these two instruments are played together, the dynamic arrangements of hymns and praise songs become fresh and new! Their concerts are a combination of music, storytelling and comedy, as each plays off the other in a way that’s entertaining, reflective and captivating. An evening with The Burchfields can be described as “Reaching the ages”. Prime timers love it because they recognize the music, while young people are inspired by the arrangements and intrigued with the instrumentation. Their stylistic diversity bridges the gap of the generations.
