Genres-crossing trio

Sometimes it's hard to fit people into boxes, and the Rosie Burgess Trio is no exception.

Sometimes it's hard to fit people into boxes, and the Rosie Burgess Trio is no exception.

Sliding from folk to blues to gypsy-roots and back, the trio cross more genres than state borders, giving off "more energy than an illegally sparked firecracker," says Drum Media in Sydney, Australia.

Hailing from Melbourne, the trio will bring its uniquely Australian brand of music to Joe's Garage in Courtenay this Thursday in a collection of catchy harmonies and humour.

With the release of their third studio album, Leap, Sam (Fruit) Lohs on stomp box drums, and Tim Bennett on bass guitar, showcase Burgess' effortlessly personable songwriting.

Joe's kitchen opens at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8:30. For details, visit http://joeson5th.ca.
