Corncutter Promotions Present: Golden Shoals

Event Type

Genre : Music - Folk/blues/world

Description

We are thrilled to have Golden Shoals returning to Norwich on June 19th! Those of you who caught them the first time round know how great they are, with a truly classy blend of amazing songwriting and stellar playing. Be sure to book in advance!

Golden Shoals is a fiddle and guitar duo with a "rousing old-time-style music that?s fueled by acerbic modern-day wit? (-No Depression Magazine). They are no strangers to traditional music, having placed in contests including Clifftop (3rd place 2023, 4th place 2022), Mount Airy, The Grand Masters Fiddlers Championship and Galax. Often switching instruments between fiddle, two guitars, and banjo, their original songs have been compared to Gillian Welch, with the added edge of instrumental prowess informed by energetic old time and bluegrass recordings.

Initially brought together by a mutual love of American folk music, Golden Shoals' sound has expanded to include country, Americana, Indie and Experimental influences, allowing them to move more freely beyond genre boundaries with their songwriting while still emanating a deep understanding of Old-Time and Bluegrass music. Ever inspired by the enduring spirit of traditional Appalachian mountain music, their songwriting comes across as simple, honest, and fresh to the ears. The listener can expect the polished technique of conservatory training, in tandem with the grit, drive, and soul of musicians like Roscoe Holcomb or Ola Belle Reed.
