About
RC BURNS is a Singer/Songwriter, Bagpiper and Author of Short Stories and Novels. Cutting his teeth on and being inspired by the music of artists like John Prine, Steve Goodman, Stan Rogers and Gordon Lightfoot, RC Burns has written a collection of original songs based on his own real life experiences and observations and released his first album “Full Circle” in 2021.
RC “Cecil” Burns was born in Toronto, grew up in Wasaga Beach, Ontario and now makes his home in Kenora, a small city in Northwestern Ontario not far from the Manitoba border. His over 40-year career in Environmental and Energy Management took RC from such exotic places as Peru through to the Northwest Territories working on a variety of environmental and energy projects. Upon retiring, RC reconnected with his high school friend, award winning Producer JK Gulley and through the magic of the internet and some in-studio sessions, the album “Full Circle” was born.
The first single released was the title track and the story of how RC and JK started writing songs in high school and have come together nearly 50 years later to fulfill a lifelong dream. RC Burns has indeed come “Full Circle”!

Sorry - its been a while since my last update - life got kind of busy. House renovations and travel took up most of the year but I'm please to announce that my new album “Country Love Songs” has been released. One of the songs from the new album was named a Top 10 Traditional Country Song at the Summer 2024 World Songwriting Awards. Unfortunately in Canada we are currently in the throes of a postal strike so I won't be able to ship any CDs for a while. Downloads are available from my store - so if you're looking for some new music - check it out. You can also check my YouTube Channel ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-90ACn5QEwIl56fWgHk63w ) to hear all of my music.
