Burs (the small things that stick with you) is a Toronto-based folk-rock quartet consisting of Lauren Dillen, Ray Goudy, Devon Savas, and Aidan McConnell. Their debut album Holding Patterns, blends deep folk roots and left-field sonic tendencies, earning praise as "a rich and often ethereal collection of songs able to change with fluid ease" [The Revue]. The single “Lily” was featured on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Rock playlist.

The band has shared stages with established acts such as The Bros. Landreth, Jake Xerxes Fussell, By Divine Right, Field Guide, Hayden Pedigo, Another Michael, Living Hour, and Rachel Bobbitt. Notable festival highlights include Exclaim!’s Class of 2024, Winterruption WPG/YEG (2024), Sled Island (2023), and Highlands Music Festival (2023/24). Their sophomore record, Significance, Otherness, made with production help from Eli Browning (Sister Ray) and Adam Brisbin (Buck Meek), will release on November 21st, 2025 on Birthday Cake Records.
