Boy Golden
Boy Golden is introspective and vulnerable, traditional and queer, hard-headed and sensual. Everything becomes fluid when you can pass through time and space like a ghost, a story, a melody. Boy Golden manifests all three on For Jimmy. When listening to his music, it feels easy to dissolve into the ether. Everything flows. Introspective and vulnerable, traditional and queer, hard-headed and sensual, Boy Golden’s everyman-aesthetic appeals to us all. No matter what frame of mind he’s in, he’ll fit us in for a good time. We’re here right now.
Tickets: $25 online.
Location: Seahorse Tavern, 2037 Gottingen Street
