Nashville, Tenn. – Chart-topping Bluegrass/Roots singer-songwriter Danny Burns just dropped his brand-new single, “Fisherman’s Blues,” available everywhere now via Bonfire Music Group. The hard-hitting Bluegrass recording serves as the lead single from Burns’ forthcoming full-length album, which he is currently in the studio working on. Showcasing an all-star lineup of musicians and Burns’ unmistakable vocal style, the track marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for one of Bluegrass music’s fastest-rising artists. Fans can download and stream “Fisherman’s Blues” on all digital and streaming platforms HERE.
Written by Mike Scott and Steve Wickham, “Fisherman’s Blues” finds Burns leaning into the anthemic Bluegrass sound that has helped define his recent success while putting his own distinctive stamp on the beloved song. Recorded at The Doghouse Studio in Nashville, the track features an exceptional cast of musicians joining Danny Burns, including Dan Tyminski (harmony vocals), Bryan Sutton (guitar), Billy Contreras (fiddle), Tony Wray (banjo), Ethan Burkhardt (bass) and Neal Cappellino (mixing engineer). Driven by world-class musicianship and anchored by Burns’ unique voice and Celtic-rooted influences, the recording delivers a fresh and compelling take that bridges both traditional and modern Bluegrass.
The new single arrives on the heels of a landmark year for Burns following the release of his acclaimed album Southern Sky. The project produced multiple chart-topping hits, including the career-defining “Blue Ridge Blue,” which became Burns’ highest-charting single to date and finished as one of the most-played songs of 2025 across Bluegrass radio. Additional singles including “Brother Wind” and “Who You Know” further cemented Burns’ standing as one of the genre’s most compelling voices, while Southern Sky earned widespread praise for its stellar guest appearances from artists such as Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Sam Bush, Dan Tyminski, Tim O’Brien, Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, Mike Rogers, and Cecilia Castleman. The album also spent consecutive weeks on the Roots Music Report Contemporary Bluegrass Album Chart, continuing Burns’ remarkable momentum and expanding his audience across Bluegrass, Americana, and Roots music.
With new music on the horizon and a full-length album in the works, Danny Burns shows no signs of slowing down. For more information, upcoming tour dates, music, and the latest news, visit www.dannyburnsband.com.
