Press
“Norwich’s native son, Brian Golden, kicked things off on the main stage. Golden has a long history of playing in Syracuse-area bands before eventually moving to Nashville, where he met his wife and band mate, Aletha. The Brian Golden Blues Experiment [Golden Soul Revue] encompasses his interest in blues, but also makes room for Aletha Golden’s powerful voice on soul/R&B/gospel-styled songs, which included a powerful cover of ‘I Shall Be Released.’” - Brian Cornish, NYS Music, reviewing the 2019 Chenango Blues Fest
“We dig the song, the arrangement, the players, the voice, the tracking, the mixing, the mastering, the video and the video editing. This is tough stuff all around.” - Tim Davis, Undertone Audio (www.undertoneaudio.com), on “Got No Time”
