Minor Gold are ARIA nominated artists Tracy McNeil & Dan Parsons. Canadian and Australian respectively, this Trans-Pacific duo echo 70’s cosmic Americana with an easy charm and potent honesty.  The strength of the songwriting and the indeterminate perfection of how these two artists' voices lock in together 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 delight and enthral as they weave masterful harmonies and deft guitar playing around unforgettable, stripped back performances.   Since the release of their acclaimed debut album in August 2023, Minor Gold have been making waves in the Americana/Folk scene internationally. With extensive national tours in AUS and the U.S, including major festival appearances and Official Showcases at major conferences AmericanaFEST in Nashville, TN and Folk Alliance International in Kansas City; Minor Gold were also the support for The Teskey Brothers in the U.S and have recently taken home the ‘Folk Award’ in the 2024 Queensland Music Awards.    QUOTES “Brilliant songwriting and impeccable performances make this such an endearing debut” – Double J “Like Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham at the top of their game” - Loud Mouth “A potent partnership; their voices meld beautifully, with heavenly harmonies and a glorious simplicity to the presentation…this is an album to get lost in.” – STACK Magazine “The pairs 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
