Gold Heart, featuring the Gold sisters Tori (mandolin), Jocey (guitar), and Shelby (fiddle) have been touring worldwide and astounding audiences with their fun personalities, intense harmonies and brilliant musicianship since 2005. Joined on stage by their father, Trent on bass, and their brother, Kai on banjo, this is an outstanding act in every sense. With nearly ten years on the bluegrass scene, hundreds of live performances and now four albums under their belt, Gold Heart is elated to join Mountain Fever Records.
Of the trio, Keith Lawrence of Bluegrass Notes stated, “If angels sing bluegrass, this is what it sounds like.”
Family harmony is considered one of the staples of bluegrass and acoustic music. There is nothing like it, especially when it is set against a backdrop of superb musicianship. Such is the case with Places I’ve Been, the new album from Gold Heart. If the lilting, three-part, sister harmony doesn’t put a smile on your face, the youthful originality of the songs, chock full of fresh ideas and melodies, will. In fact, all twelve songs on Places I’ve Been were written by members of the talented Gold family. This is an album full of their original songs proving that they have rounded out their talents in every aspect of the business. For Places I’ve Been, the sister-trio asked their good friend and mentor, Ron Stewart to produce and also lend his banjo talents to the project. The album is a true listening experience, with topics of family, love and heartbreak intertwined throughout the album.
