WOW!! - talent, creativity & heart
by Bunny on 2023-11-28Burton Cummings Theatre - WinnipegWe were away from Folk Fest this year so missed the phenom that is Boy Golden - so knew we had to see them when we heard they were coming to the Burt. Gobsmacked! The creativity and musical talent were unbelievable. Kris Ulrich and Fontine as openers were amazing, and stunning full band sets. The songs were compelling, and a little quirky from time to time - just the perfect blend of musicianship and storytelling. Besides enjoying the music, the most compelling moment was the conversation between Boy Golden and an audience member who looked to be not doing well. In the midst of a full crowd on the main floor, first balcony and second balcony - and in midst of a next song - Boy Golden stopped the music, and checked in on the person. A quiet, kind and personal moment like one I have never seen between a musician and an audience member. And then the amazing music resumed. I'm a fan and will DEFINITELY be back to enjoy the immense talent and heart that is Boy Golden!
