Beau Golden
I'm a Sydney-based musician currently involved in lots of different projects. I'm from a family of jazz musicians and we did an album last year (Three Generations of Barnards) out on Newmarket Records. I've also got a fender rhodes, which is good news for everybody.
In 2007 I have played at the Manly, Thredbo, Darling Harbour & Stonnington (Melbourne) Jazz Festivals, the Byron Blues & Roots festival and the Woodford Dreaming festival, as well as venues such as the Wine Banq, The Basement, the Vanguard, the Enmore Theatre and the Metro Theatre among others. I have also toured with various other musicians performing in Sydney, Melbourne, Byron Bay, Hobart and Phuket Thailand.
Currently playing with Alamode, The Radium Club Hepsters, Velvet, Amali Ward, Casey Donovan and Jordan Millar & the Question as well as doing some jazz stuff with various cats round town.
