Goldfinch

Dec 6th – RRRRadio!

Goldfinch — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:55:54 +0000

Goldfinch is the featured artist on NWCZ Radio’s show, The Aquarium this week! Aaron and Emily’s interview and song set can be heard on Tuesday December 6th at 7pm or via podcast anytime after that! (Just click on the iTunes button on their homepage.)

From the show’s website… “The Aquarium features weekly; the finest and most accomplished singers and songwriters from the Pacific Northwest. We will focus on getting to know the artists and what drives them to pursue the life of being a songwriter. Each week, we will bring other aspects to the listening audience such as education into what it takes to be successful in a highly competitive music industry, obscure facts about popular artists and a sense of humor and entertainment that only artists can identify with but everyone will enjoy. In the end, we all love music…we want to create a holistic picture of what it is like from the artists perspective.”

A Letter to You from Goldfinch – Summer 2011

Goldfinch — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 16:45:25 +0000

Goldfinch Family,

Goldfinch has recently lost and added some very precious components as a band. Choosing to move forward with the Goldfinch project was a difficult decision, one that I second-guessed at several turns. However, I have been amazed and energized by all the changes, both small and large. The refashioning of the Goldfinch lineup, has somehow managed to push the musical and artistic ceiling for Goldfinch far beyond what I ever expected.

The addition of Emily on cello and vocals has stretched our imagination and created a soundscape that is achingly beautiful. We’ve also welcomed Mikey on bass guitar. His work ethic, combined with his good-natured and well-mannered demeanor would make any southern mother proud. Luke Stevens has also been a much appreciated work-horse, filling in wherever needed and painstakingly engineering/producing our upcoming musical releases. The combination of all these new members/supporting cast has been like a balm of sorts for Goldfinch.

We will have some new recordings available soon. Look for Faded Explanations Vol. 1 in the not-too-distant future.

Here’s a list of our upcoming shows, click here for more details.

· July 27th – Wenatchee – Caffé Mela

· July 28th – Pullman, WA – Bell Tower

We would love to have your support at these upcoming shows. It’s always great to see your beautiful faces… and the hugs and kisses are always much appreciated.

Peace.

-Aaron Stevens, Goldfinch

Ta-Da! Goldfinch Releases New Music

Goldfinch — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 03:17:10 +0000

Yay! We are so stoked & a little tired, too, BUT our two new songs have been shipped off through the internet to the talented T.W. Walsh to be mastered & then released on December 18th. “Vacant Lot” with the B side, “Elephant”, mark the first time we’ve actually recorded as a full band since our whole first album was Aaron & Grace + friends filling in on instruments. Listening to theses songs on repeat has been stunning & we couldn’t be more excited to start off our series of single releases with them.

Happy Winter to you all & come out to see us at our release show on December 18th at Columbia City Theater in Seattle (or one of our tour shows if you’re in another town) & also we will have Goldfinch buttons, t shirts & maybe some knuckle tattoos there to buy. Actually, knuckle tattoos didn’t happen, but only because we have one too many letters in our name.

The Warehouse Presents: Goldfinch In Tacoma

Goldfinch — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 03:40:44 +0000

One year ago we were honored to play Tacoma’s best underground music promoters’, The Warehouse, very first show along with San Francisco’s Birds & Batteries. The folks who run The Warehouse are truly special & are so dedicated to making & growing a music scene in this town that is good for touring & local bands and the folks who live here & want to see great music as well. We pretty much love them.

This year we get to play on the one year anniversary of this traveling troupe of show makers & it’s alongside some of our favorite Portland musicians, Drew Grow & The Pastors’ Wives & Kelli Schaefer. It’s Halloween, so come out & dress like crazy.

The Warehouse Presents:

Goldfinch, Drew Grow & The Pastors’ Wives, & Kelli Schaefer, October 27th, 7pm, $8, All Ages

The Goldfinch & MLK Ballet Company Collaboration

Goldfinch — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 23:33:25 +0000

Way back in March (and again in June) we had the pleasure of performing a few of our songs alongside choreographed dancers as a part of MLK Ballet’s MOVE! series. MLK Ballet is Tacoma’s only tuition-free dance school & they provide excellent classes for students of all incomes & levels. Basically, they are awesome & they occasionally collaborate with live musicians like us. All MOVE! series performances are fundraisers for the school & we were glad to to be a part of it, even if it did mean working under greater pressure than usual to play our songs right.

This is “Cosmonaut”, “Go Easy On Me” & “Yellow Wings”.
