Smooth harmonies and sunlit West Coast songwriting give California Gold a sound built around the music of the sixties and seventies. The Sydney five piece faithfully recreates songs associated with Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, the Doobie Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne and Carole King. For a wedding, that shared catalogue can bring several generations together without turning the reception into a general mix of unrelated hits. The performance runs as a two hour tribute with the vocal detail and full band scale of the original recordings in mind. Its strongest quality is the clear devotion to one golden period of American songwriting.

Good to know
What to expect
Two hours devoted to one particular stretch of music: the west coast of America and the songwriters who came out of it. Five players, and the effort goes into the vocals, because those records lived or died on harmony. So Hotel California and Go Your Own Way arrive with the parts intact, Linda Ronstadt's big ballads get the range they need, and the Doobie Brothers and Bonnie Raitt material brings the rhythm section forward. Jackson Browne and Carole King fill in the quieter corners. It suits a room where people came to listen, though the back half of the set will get them up.
On the day
Five metres by three of stage, or more if you have it, for a five piece plus their gear. One standard power outlet. And access to the room a minimum of two hours ahead of the show, which is the bit worth protecting in your schedule, because that window covers the load-in and the sound check before anyone arrives.
