An evening with Minor Gold at Cafe No9 (the first of two back to back shows)

Event information

Minor Gold are the award-winning harmony duo of Tracy McNeil (Canada) and Dan Parsons (Australia), winners of the 2024 Queensland Music Award for Folk. Their luminous blend of cosmic Americana and alt-folk earned them ‘Best new music’ - UNCUT & ★★★★ in SHINDIG, with delicate vocal harmonies reminiscent of Simon & Garfunkel, the guitar stylings of Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, and the flowing spirit of The Grateful Dead. Their celebrated debut established them as a vital new force, and their brand-new album Way to the Sun (2025) confirms their artistry with glowing global acclaim and radio support. On their second UK/EU tour, Minor Gold deliver unmissable performances of world-class songwriting, spellbinding harmonies, and timeless musicianship.

★★★★★ “a lovingly crafted album that is a joyous listen form beginning to end.”
– Gerry McNally - Folk / Tumble

★★★★ “The folk and soft-rock sound of the '70s permeate a record filled with lilting melodies and the sweet cadence of the duo's twin vocal delivery… Minor Gold shine bright.” – Shindig

★★★★ “a confident, cohesive, and compelling chapter in the ongoing journey of a duo who clearly know where they are headed…a quietly radiant gem.” –Rhythms Magazine

Retro California sounds brought bang up to date. - Americana UK

“Brilliant songwriting and impeccable performances” – Double J ABC Radio

“There’s an alluring telepathy to the way the voices curl around each other, rarely heard in country music since Emmylou Harris rode shotgun with Gram Parsons, aligned to eloquent lyrics.” – UNCUT

“a timeless blend of folk-leaning Americana…a striking sense of freedom and pinpoint emotional accuracy.” – Double J / ABC Radio

“…a lazily funky Nilsson hanging out with Bobbie Gentry… Southern soul.” - Folking UK

“In Break It Fake It – which could be Simon & Garfunkel in pearl-button shirts, or Seals and Crofts in spurs – there is a more certain momentum, a definite sense of the road opening out. – Bernard Zuel
