Sweat flies and floorboards tremble – Union Duke is a Toronto folk quintet with an explosive live show. The songs are irresistible; the perfect fit for the heatwave of the dance hall or the cool breeze of the park. Now, they’re ready to share their latest collection of songs with their third full-length album, Golden Days. Set for release on August 5^th, the album perfectly showcases the band’s signature soulful indie rock sound mixed with bluegrass and country, along with their soaring harmonies with three, four, and even five voices. Have a listen to the lead single, Got You On My Mind. 

Union Duke recorded Golden Days live off the floor to capture the raw, joyful energy of their concerts. Then they brought in Grammy award-winning mix engineer Mark Lawson (Arcade Fire, Basia Bulat, Timbre Timber) to bring the mixes to life. The album will take you back to your warmest memories: nights by the lake, passing a bottle around the fire, or singing with your friends at the top of your lungs. It also looks forward, reaching for those long, lazy summer days that will keep you going through the winter. It’s a record of pain and struggle, lessons learned, and of laughter between friends, tenderness between lovers. One minute you’re following banjo music rambling down a country lane, the next, you feel the pulse and pound of the amplifiers.

The band works hard, travelling back and forth across the country playing to fans young and old from coast to coast. They’ve played sold out shows where crowds know all the words. They’ve performed at countless festivals including TURF, Mariposa, and Summerfolk, topping the list of must-see acts. Their enthusiasm is infectious, and they leave every audience smiling – maybe the golden days aren’t so distant after all.
