KYLE VANDERBURG

Kyle Vanderburg’s music lurks somewhere in the Venn diagram between “this sounds familiar” and “what was that!?” Raised in southeast Missouri, where the Mississippi River valley meets the Ozark foothills, Kyle grew up listening to an eclectic mix of American hymnody, bluegrass, high school band music, and power tools. Sometimes this is obvious in his music.

He lives in Fargo, where he's composer in residence at the Challey School of Music at North Dakota State University.

Earmarks released on Boreas Trio's debut CD.
This limited-run release from the Boreas Trio features sharp, spirited works for clarinet, saxophone, and piano—including Kyle Vanderburg’s Earmarks, a tongue-in-cheek tribute to political maneuvering and budgetary sleight of hand. With music that’s as sly as it is stylish, the album offers a chamber music experience full of wit, energy, and just a hint of backroom dealmaking.
