Roots duo Duke & Goldie will be returning to Char's Landing in Port Alberni with some folk music, country songs and storytelling.
Walking the line between warm folk storytelling and an upbeat mystical country twang are Vancouver-based duo Duke & Goldie. The musical partnership of Jena “Goldie” Gogo and Eric “The Duke” Duquette — each longtime members of roots rock band Blue Sky Miners — has produced an exciting new sound said to revive the charm of the '60s and '70s Laurel Canyon music scene.
Their debut self-titled EP, released in May 2023, has been met with glowing reviews. On stage, the pair weave their cascading vocal harmonies over acoustic guitar-laden arrangements to tell stories that roam from rocky mountain highs to mysterious remote deserts, while navigating their roles as settlers in this land.
Duke & Goldie will appear at Char's Landing on Thursday, Sept. 5, where they will be joined by opening band Pony Gold. Hailing from Victoria, B.C., Pony Gold delivers timeless, tender-hearted songs that resonate deeply with the soul.
The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available at www.sidedooraccess.com, at the door or by calling or texting Char at 250-730-1636.
