Beans On Toast Shares Tribute To Loriane Burgon On New Single “A Real Rock ‘n’ Roller”

Singer-songwriter Beans on Toast has released his new single A Real Rock ’n’ Roller, the track is a heartfelt tribute to artist and friend, 60s counterculture icon Loriane Burgon and a celebration of the power of music and culture. The song tells the story of Loriane’s early life, her wild spirit, and her lifelong connection to rock ’n’ roll, capturing how art and music can shape both a person and a generation. The track is part of Beans on Toast’s wider Wild Folk project, which also features a chapter about Loriane in his forthcoming book Wild Folk People and an episode of the Wild Folk Podcast, where the two friends talk about her life, her art and the lasting influence of 1960s culture.

The accompanying video brings Loriane’s world vividly to life using Midjourney AI, combining real photographs from her past with her own paintings to create a dreamlike portrait of a true rock ’n’ roller. Visual art was one of the things that first brought Beans on Toast and Loriane together, and the video reflects that shared creative spark while embracing modern technology and the possibilities of the future. A Real Rock ’n’ Roller is a song about friendship, creativity and the enduring power of music. It stands as both a personal tribute and a nod to the revolutionary spirit of the 1960s, showing how the art, energy and ideas of that era continue to echo through modern culture and inspire what comes next.
