Reto Burrell

Reto Burrell

Since his debut album Echo Park (2001), Reto Burrell has developed his own musical style at the intersection of rock, pop, country, folk and blues. That unique mix - combined with meaningful lyrics and his recognisable voice - earned him international success. With twelve albums under his name, he remains a leading and innovative force within the Americana scene. He has worked with luminaries like Grammy winner Chris Testa, producer Greg Droman and top musicians like Bryan Sutton and Aubrey Haynie. He is also a sought-after producer and songwriter in his home country Switzerland. His music has been compared to that of Tom Petty and has reached the top 10 of the European Americana Charts several times.

2027 - Orange Juice tour (with Lin Stucki):

From approximately the end of February to mid-March 2027, Reto Burrell will return to the Netherlands and Belgium to promote his new album Orange Juice, which will be released at the end of 2026.

For this tour, Reto will be performing in a strong and dynamic duo with singer and multi-instrumentalist Lin Stucki. The album will be recorded together with her, ensuring that the live performance seamlessly matches the new record. The combination of Reto's characteristic voice and acoustic guitar and harmonica with Lin alternating between accordion, electric or acoustic guitar or percussion and their harmonies creates a rich, full and diverse sound within a compact line-up. The programme consists of new work from Orange Juice supplemented with Reto Burrell's earlier repertoire.

Lin Stucki has been performing on stage since a young age and has developed into a versatile musician on accordion, electric and acoustic guitar, bass and percussion. She has played in various bands and international projects and brings a broad musical background to the table. Since 2024, she has been accompanying Reto during concerts in both duo and band line-ups.
