MINOR GOLD – Cosmic Americana Duo
Based in Australia | Touring Internationally
Powerhouse Cosmic Americana duo Minor Gold are ARIA nominated and award-winning songwriters & Tracy McNeil (CAN) and Dan Parsons (AUS). Their sound echoes 70’s cosmic Americana with an easy charm and potent honesty, but it is the indeterminate perfection of how these two artists' voices lock in together that hit right where the emotions live inside us. With dynamics ranging from the intense restraint of campfire intimacy through to open throttle abandon, Minor Gold move you - weaving masterful harmonies and deft guitar playing around unforgettable, stripped back performances.
Since releasing their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album in August 2023, the pair have navigated life on the road without missing a beat. Minor Gold have had a massive 18 months, with highlights including touring North America and Australia twice, official showcases at Folk Alliance International (USA), AmericanaFEST (USA), Folk Music Ontario (CAN) and Your Roots are Showing (IE), major festival appearances and supports for legendary Australian band The Teskey Brothers in the U.S.
Recent winners of the 'Folk Award' in the Queensland Music Awards, Minor Gold's songs have had multiple adds to high rotation on radio in Australia and charted in the Top 10 on the NACC in the U.S. – there is much love for this charmed duo who keep delivering the goods. While touring North America in 2024, the pair took a short break in July to record their sophomore album in Los Angeles with producer Dan Horne (Mapache, Cass McCombs, Circles Around the Sun). Excited by the results, this new music is due for release in early 2025, but not before they tour the UK/EU for the first time in Jan/Feb with an appearance at Strib Winter Festival in Denmark.
“The pair's real superpower is their melodic vocal interplay and sixth-sense harmonies…Imagine standing at a crossroads, halfway between Laurel Canyon and a sandy palm tree cove. These are the intoxicating sounds you might hear drifting on that summer breeze.” - Chris Familton | Rhythms Magazine
