“The upbeat, bluegrass-infused music of Boy Golden is an apt introduction to a character that’s both larger-than-life and utterly approachable.” – Winnipeg Free Press

From classic country to psych-folk, alternative to roadhouse pop to Appalachian bluegrass, Winnipeg-born singer-songwriter Boy Golden’s purpose is to enjoy each day and make good music. Since releasing his debut album, Church of Better Daze in 2021, he’s played major summer festivals, released a dozen videos, and toured with The Sheepdogs. With hopeful, fresh and upbeat songs, such as “KD & Lunch Meat” (featured on the Zone 91-3 and charted to #1 on Alternative Radio), the blues- and country-tinged harmonies of Boy Golden are the collective idea of working together. Musically, Boy Golden is most heavily inspired by the blues-inflected style of J.J. Cale — even down to his use of a drum machine as the rhythm section — but his general love of old country, blues and rock ‘n’ roll permeates everything from the jam band-style instrumentation to his vocal delivery.

Opening for Samantha Fish ft. Jesse Dayton on Friday, August 25.
