Boy Golden is the stage name of Winnipeg, Manitoba–based singer-songwriter Liam Duncan, whose music blends folk and alternative country with thoughtful, socially aware storytelling. Known for pairing warm melodies with sharp lyrical observations, Duncan’s songs often explore love, economic anxiety, political frustration, and the search for meaning in uncertain times.
Boy Golden gained wider recognition with his 2023 album Church of Better Daze, which earned nominations for the Canadian Folk Music Award and Contemporary Singer of the Year at the 18th Canadian Folk Music Awards. His work balances plainspoken honesty with melodic ease, drawing listeners in through both intimacy and relatability.
In 2025, he returned with Best of Our Possible Lives, further refining his blend of folk and alternative country while leaning into optimism without ignoring the realities of the modern world. Whether on record or onstage, Boy Golden’s music offers comfort, clarity, and connection, meeting listeners where they are.
