Fri, Aug 12, Forever Goldrush

Back in the mid-’90s, I lived on the same street as Forever Goldrush when the band was in their infancy. I’d often see singer Damon Wyckoff on P Street, and he’d hand me copies of their music. After finally sitting down and listening to their tunes, I knew there was something special. Although the band dissolved far too quickly, it was only a matter of time before the boys from Amador would pick up the pieces once again. This Friday they’re releasing Amador Frequency, a collection of songs about life’s ups and downs that includes both heartfelt ditties and full-on barn burners. Two thumbs way up. 2708 J Street, www.forevergoldrush.com.
