Search - Tony Furtado :: Golden

Tony Furtado's 15th album, Golden, was recorded, mixed and co-produced by friend and engineer Rob Stroup at 8-Ball Studio in Portland, OR. Golden is the product of Furtado surrounded by the comforts of home, weaving his way through the diverse cultural fabric of a city rich with music, art and talent. In classic Furtado fashion, he explores the hills and valleys of familiar and new musical territory ranging from Americana, Celtic and folk to indie rock, pop, and bluegrass. And while his award-winning playing and unforgettable leads are present throughout, it is his vocal presence, diverse arrangements and songwriting that take center stage on Golden.

Inspiration for the songs and music came from his many experiences around the River City while on hiatus from the road. His weekly residencies at local venues The Woods and The Secret Society provided him an opportunity to broaden his palette and share his tunes with a huge swath of songwriters, including Casey Neill, Jeremy Wilson, Dangermuffin and Kenny White. An online songwriting "club" hosted by Adam Levy where he was joined by songwriters like Ari Hest, Vienna Teng, and Garrison Starr, spawned the rootsy "In the Hollow" and the driving devilry of "Can't Lie Down." Even the local art provided inspiration. The infectious instrumental "Portlandia" is classic Furtado and named after a Raymond Kaskey sculpture located above the entrance of a downtown building.
