Golden Shoals knit together the worlds of traditional bluegrass and old time music, $23.36 advance/ $28.60 at the door (all prices include service fee).

Golden Shoals is a fiddle and guitar duo that are no strangers to traditional music. 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.

What started as casual jam sessions ten years ago in Boston, Massachusetts has transitioned into the internationally acclaimed cross-country duo Golden Shoals. 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.

Morgan Harris (she/her) is a Portland, OR-based guitarist specializing in traditional North American string band music. In contrast to the purely accompanying role the guitar often occupies in this space, Morgan’s distinctive playing technique allows the guitar to shine as an old time melody instrument, creating a rhythmic drive and a multi-layered resonance that is unique in the world of flatpick guitar.
