Austin-based singer/songwriter Danny Golden announced today his new indie rock album, titled “Being There,” that is set to release on Friday, May 5, 2023. Coinciding with the album announcement, Golden has simultaneously released two singles off the LP, “Orion” and “Do You Really Wanna Do It?” as well as an animated music video for “Orion.” Austin-based singer/songwriter Danny Golden announced today his new indie rock album, titled “Being There,” that is set to release on Friday, May 5, 2023. Coinciding with the album announcement, Golden has simultaneously released two singles off the LP, “Orion” and “Do You Really Wanna Do It?” as well as an animated music video for “Orion.”

Danny Golden is a singer/songwriter based in Austin, Texas. Golden’s career has been one of reinvention and he believes the songwriter’s job is to investigate the depths of emotions and bring some meaning back to the surface through music. After completing his college thesis in 2015 - a collection of re-arranged and performed Bach compositions on bluegrass instruments - he set his sights on Austin to become a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and multigenre artist. Since then, he has toured nationally with his band and performed alongside artists such as David Ramirez and Matthew Logan Vasquez (of Delta Spirit), and has been featured in Billboard, Under The Radar, mxdwn and more.

The album, recorded with producer Jason Burt, also known as Electrophunck (producer for Leon Bridges, John Mayer, Paul Cauthen and more), was born out of spontaneity and no restrictions. That approach informs the record, which is tied together by compositional strength and stellar performances. Throughout the album, you’ll hear flavors of indie rock, Americana, a pure experimental and transcendental layering of sounds, a fusion of styles from past and present. The album also includes backing from friends: Nik Lee from Texas Gentlemen, Spice & Uncle Roy of Sir Woman, Amber Baker (drummer for Jon Batiste) and more.

“This album is unlike anything I have ever recorded or created before which is really exciting,” said Danny Golden. “It was created in a free-spirited way and I honestly believe that this album and its songs are as much the listeners as they are mine. I want to thank Jason Burt who created ‘Being There’ with me, starting at the most cellular level, and to the many other friends who made this the album it turned out to be.”

Regarding the first two singles, “Orion” serves as the entry point that transports you into Golden’s sonic universe and takes listeners into flight, while the sounds of “Do You Really Wanna Do It?” land back on solid ground of vintage rock and roll.

After an astonishing year of selling out iconic venues including Red Rocks Amphitheatre, MGM Music Hall at Fenway (twice), and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, indie rock band Mt. Joy has officially announced the first wave of their 2024 tour. This tour will feature a headline performance at the historic Madison Square Garden, for the first time, on September 28, 2024.

Matt Quinn of Mt. Joy said, “It’s incredible to cross these milestones off the bucket list. I know we will always remember the hard work that got us here - the many rehearsals, shows, shitty loadouts in the snow - always knowing that if we kept going, we could be one of the best bands in the world. We’re a pretty humble group but we’re excited to be put on these stages where we can go prove, to anyone who doesn’t already know, that we’re one of the best out right now.”

In addition to touring, the band continues to have success with their latest album, "Orange Blood." Its hit single, "Lemon Tree," reached #1 on AAA Radio and received praise from press, including being called "a next-level song" by NPR. Mt. Joy also released collaborations this year with Joy Oladokun, Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners, and Julia Pratt.

Tickets go on sale Friday, May 2. Kicking off on September 5 in Sunrise, Florida, the newly staged live show features brand-new arrangements of the two-time Academy Award® winner’s diverse catalogue, precisely synchronized with epic film sequences.

“Matt is one of the world’s foremost figures in film music. There’s no one I trust more to bring this music to life on stage,” says Zimmer.

With more than 200 screen credits, Dunkley has collaborated extensively with Zimmer on blockbuster films including the third and fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Inception, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, No Time to Die, Kung Fu Panda 3, and Top Gun: Maverick. Beyond film, he has worked with artists such as Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, and U2.

“It is an absolute privilege to work with Hans and these incredibly talented musicians and soloists to share these iconic pieces with audiences,” says Dunkley. “Every performance will be an electrifying and emotional experience for fans as we step inside Hans’s musical universe.”
