Duke & Goldie

Artist Website

Vancouver-based duo Duke & Goldie blends the soul of warm folk storytelling with an upbeat, mystical country twang. The musical partnership of Jena “Goldie” Gogo and Eric “The Duke” Duquette—both seasoned members of the roots rock band Blue Sky Miners—has birthed a sound that feels both timeless and refreshingly new. Often described as a revival of the sun-kissed Laurel Canyon vibes of the ‘60s and ‘70s, their music invites listeners to journey through heartland stories and wide-open landscapes.

On stage, Duke & Goldie weave cascading harmonies over acoustic guitar-laden arrangements, bringing stories to life that travel from the towering Rocky Mountains to the quiet mystery of remote deserts. They explore the complexity of their roles as modern-day settlers, grappling with identity, place, and purpose in the beautiful land they call home. But it’s their magnetic on-stage chemistry—playful yet deeply connected—that truly hooks audiences, making every performance feel like an intimate invitation into their special world.
