LONGER BIO
Minor Gold — ARIA-nominated songwriters Tracy McNeil (CAN) & Dan Parsons
(AUS) - embark on their North American album tour for their sophomore album Way
to the Sun: a lush, harmony-drenched blend of cosmic country and folk.
Produced by Dan Horne (Mapache, Cass McCombs), Way to the Sun was hailed by
UNCUT as “an alluring telepathy… rarely heard since Emmylou & Gram,” crowned
Best New Music, and held in the top 50 Americana Radio charts for 9 weeks.
Recorded over seven sun-soaked days at Ultimate Hair Farm in Glendale,
California, the album slowly emerged like a hazy mirage from a cosmic, suburban
dream. Poolside barbecues, late-night percussion jams, and moonlit swims shaped a
record that felt more discovered than made. Written across Australian highways and
finished in Middle America, it’s a bold evolution - seeking light in the shadows, and
letting go just enough to watch the sun rise.
After three years of international touring and festival appearances across North
America, the UK, and Europe, Minor Gold are back - bringing their irresistible live
show and new songs to North American audiences in 2026.
