CRITIC'S PICKS: Goldpine and The Burney Sisters

Goldpine and The Burney Sisters

Fri., Dec. 12
Goldpine, The Burney Sisters, Eddie Owen Presents at Red Clay - About a year ago, this same lineup appeared at the same venue, and must have made a good enough impression to be called back. The married couple of Benjamin and Kassie Wilson performs under the Goldpine name, and have for nearly a decade. Last time they previewed songs from their as yet unreleased third album, simply titled 3. Out last July, it displays their striking vocals and rootsy, often gospel inspired, generally positively oriented material. Kassie has a booming, powerful voice and takes most of the leads, but their harmonies are just as impressive. Similarly, the Burney Sisters harmonize like sisters can, singing sweet folksy country that goes down smooth. It's a solid bill, especially if both acts share some stage time. - Hal Horowitz
