Twice featured as a “New & Notable” on Bandcamp\, Burnet’s music is described as a cinematic listening experience.

It symbolizes strength and translates to mean “Stand Tall.” Guitarist Carand Burnet\, the driving force behind the band’s intricate melodies\, wants to uplift listeners with her music. Burnet adds\, “Stand Tall is a mantra that empowers me as a female musician\, and I hope this album inspires others.”Kioea (pronounced kēōˈāə) is a music group featuring Carand Burnet(she/her) as lead guitarist and songwriter\, supported by Neil Collins on bass and Matt Wilson on drums. Their music blends sounds of surf rock\, psychedelia\, and global influences. J. Swartwood (Aquarium Drunkard) described Burnet’s music as “simultaneously modern and vintage.” \nBandcamp recognized Kioea for their EP and album\, Stand Tall\, which they selected as New & Notable releases. Bandcamp’s Editorial Director writes\, “The debut LP from Kioea is dreamy psychedelic surf music that calls back to the ’60s while feeling remarkably contemporary.” Jason M. Rubin (The Arts Fuse) comments\, “Burnet’s surf guitar takes the listener on journeys of their own\, all of which feed a desire to hear more.” \nDoyle Dean\, host of The Dean’s List on NCPR\, notes that “Burnet’s guitar playing owes a little bit to the sound of The Ventures\, Dick Dale\, and the ’90s Canadian daredevils of the form\, Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. But her singular voice owes just as much to that of Sonny Rollins – lost in the madness of a late 1950s session for Riverside. It’s that departure Kioea offers.” \nKioea has performed at The Thing in the Spring Festival\, Tidelands Festival\, Twenty Summers\, 3S Artspace\, The Music Hall\, Center for Maine Contemporary Art\, SPACE Gallery\, and other venues. Burnet performs solo and with her band\, and she has had the privilege of opening for artists such as William Tyler\, Jeff Parker\, Cut Worms\, and Lady Lamb at venues and festivals. In 2023\, Burnet received a Maine ARP Grant through SPACE Gallery and the National Endowment for the Arts\, which supported the making of Kioea’s album Stand Tall. Their most recent EP\, Electric Surf\, was released in June 2025.
