CLASSIC ROCK
Since the release of his first album "Echo Park," in 2001, Swiss artist Reto Burrell has managed to combine rock, pop, country, folk and blues into a style of Americana all his own.
Burrell's ten albums have received rave reviews from some of the most respected publications in the music industry. Rolling Stone said of his album 'Lucky Charm,' "Another great songwriting album from the Swiss with American roots"; Americana UK described his songs as, "Timeless roots-rock Americana," and Tracks Magazine called him "the Swiss Tom Petty."
His success has allowed him to work with some of the music industry's top professionals, including three-time Grammy winner Chris Testa, Country Music Association Producer of the Year Greg Droman, and world-class musicians like Bryan Sutton, Aaron Sterling, Aubrey Haynie and many others. Burrell is no stranger to production and music himself, having written, produced and recorded albums for numerous artists in Switzerland.
After the first two singles "Counting Miles" and "Size Of Our Dreams", the new studio album "Devil On My Tongue" was released in September 2023.
The new songs feature all the hallmarks we've come to expect from Burrell: sweeping melodies, meaningful lyrics, great guitar licks and heartfelt vocals. "As always, I like to flirt with different styles of music without losing the essence of who I am. The initial reactions from people in the industry who have heard the new songs have been very positive. The general consensus is that they have the freshness and excitement of a newcomer's debut album, coupled with the wisdom and experience of a seasoned artist. That makes me very happy," says Reto.
An accomplished performer, Burrell has become a fixture on the live music scene, playing hundreds of shows across Europe and is now beginning to expand his horizons to other parts of the world.
