NEVADA CITY COLLECTIVE GOLDEN SHOULDERS GIVE AWAY "MOUNTAIN"
 

Golden Shoulders is a collective of talented musicians from Nevada City, California, lead by songwriter Adam Kline. Formed in 2001, the group operates with a constantly rotating lineup with the contributors varying from performance to performance, song to song. On the band's recent full length called Get Reasonable, the music embraces the crescendoing pop opuses of the 70s, toes tapping and heads bobbing by the end of the first track.

Golden Shoulders has released three full-length albums to date, Let My Burden Be (2002), Friendship is Deep (2004), and this year's Get Reasonable (earning a 4-star review from Mojo), as well as two EPs, Bee 17 (2005) and Kin (2006), with all songs written by Kline and arranged by all musicians on the recordings. The band has toured across the United States several times, performing completely acoustic versions of their songs, without electricity, microphones or amplifiers used. Live arrangements differ from the recorded versions based on the whims of the performers. A true musical brainchild of Kline and his talented counterparts.
