Goldfinch specializes in the neglected art of the duet. Their sound straddles the sad sides of twang and folk, where the lyrics and the warm marriage of Grace Sullivan and Aaron Stevens’ vocals are laid bare by simple instrumentation. There is nothing flashy about Goldfinch’s style or sound, but it is deeply satisfying. After seeing Goldfinch for the first time this summer at the Doe Bay Music Festival, I repeatedly found myself humming their song “Go Easy On Me.”  These are songs that stick with you.

You can start humming it yourself, “Go Easy On Me” is our featured song of the week.

It’s a safe bet that there’s no better venue in town to see Goldfinch than the Tractor Tavern. The Tractor not only has one of the best sounding rooms in town, it’s also little bit country, much like the band. Courtesy of the band we’re giving away a pair of tickets to see Goldfinch on November 28th at the Tractor Tavern. Drop your name in the comments and we’ll choose a winner to have their name “plus one” on the guest list.   Winners will be randomly chosen Friday the 27th at 12pm and notified by email.
