She will take the stage at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5, in the Cellar, in Cartwright Center. Admission is free. Burns was raised around music, singing harmonies in her mother’s station wagon and spending hours in her room with a keyboard figuring out film scores by ear. Today, she combines her love for funk, R&B and musical theater. She plays the piano predominantly by ear. Burns draws inspiration from artists such as Aretha Franklin and Mariah Carey, and has been compared to Norah Jones and Fiona Apple.
