Golden Shoals {USA}

Golden Shoals perform an exceptional blend of traditional and contemporary American roots music - a brilliantly talented and hugely entertaining American duo that blends aspects of Americana, folk, bluegrass, Cajun, jazz and more. Combining old time Appalachian traditions with outstanding contemporary songwriting, Amy Alvey and Mark Kilianski are fine singers and superb musicians, and have been entertaining audiences across the USA since 2013. They have also toured internationally in Australia, Canada, Germany and the UK (making their debut tour here in 2019 under their previous name Hoot & Holler). The duo has an appealing stage presence to complement their impressive musicianship, with a genuine talent for engaging audiences. Mark is a staggeringly good guitar player, and is also excellent on clawhammer banjo. Amy is a talented and versatile fiddler, and is also a great acoustic guitar player. With the addition of excellent lead vocals and harmonies, Golden Shoals have a huge amount of instrumental and stylistic options in their armoury. ~ “Rousing old-time-style music that’s fueled by acerbic modern-day wit.” No Depression magazine goldenshoals.com
