Frank is a story teller, songwriter, singer and guitarist. In that order. His rambling anecdotes aim to give the audience more of a connection with his songs. He formed his incredible backing band when he relocated to Wellington from Edinburgh.

The band have made incredible progress in the last 4 years, releasing their debut album Fools & Kings in 2015, which reached No.12 in the Official NZ Music Charts. They have embarked on several national tours and have played several festivals across NZ. Inspired by artists such as Pokey Lafarge, Van Morrison, Billy Joel and The Wood Brothers, they play high energy, original music written by Burkitt and arranged by the band. They are released their 2nd album Raconteur at Port Fairy Folk Festival in Australia before embarking on a tour of Australia and New Zealand in March and April 2018. The album was produced by Gerry Paul (Tim O’Brien, The Staves, Mel Parsons) and engineered by Lee Prebble (The Black Seeds, Phoenix Foundation, Fly My Pretties).

The band recently won the Vodafone NZ Music Award for Best Folk Artist 2019 which was a huge highlight in the bands career thus far. The band are touring throughout NZ, Australia and the UK in 2019 to support the release of their new live EP ‘Lost But Alive’, recorded at in Wellington in November 2018.
