Minor Gold

The Martha Bassett Show is recorded live at the historic Reeves Theater in Elkin, NC. This weekly one-hour music program blends the fabric of the national roots and Americana scene with the rich artistry, history, and flair of North Carolina’s Piedmont region. FEATURING: PAT BYRNE “The raspy melodic soul of Byrne’s voice recalls the emotional spells the late Austin troubadour Jimmy LaFave used to cast, though Byrne’s songwriting bears a distinctive Irish stamp. He’s more contemporary than strict traditionalists, putting him more in the league of Glen Hansard or Luka Bloom.” MINOR GOLD Harmony driven 70's cosmic Americana with an easy charm and potent honesty. Dynamic performances - powerful stage chemistry with a focus on songcraft to create modern classics that hit the heart and the head in equal measures, move you emotionally and feel at once nostalgic and fresh. From intense campfire intimacy through to open throttle abandon, Minor Gold enthral as they weave masterful harmonies and deft guitar around unforgettable, stripped back performances. On tour with their debut album across North America. Not to be missed. “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 in songs like Don’t Change and Cannonball.” Noel Mengel / Loud Mouth MARTHA BASSETT Martha Bassett has been making music in NC and beyond for over twenty years.
