I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6!

““…an American blues-rock act whose voluble frontman, Grant Hayunga, sings as if in search of Robert Johnson’s missing soul.” -Q music magazine, United Kingdom - Celebrated Santa Fe Blues-rockabilly band GOSHEN (Grant Hayunga, lead guitar & vocals; with a revolving cast). “Goshen’s Grant Hayunga and his pitch dark Americana will leave you bewitched,” -LA Times. Goshen recently toured Oxford and Jackson, Mississippi. Their most recent performance at The North Mississippi Hill Country Picnic in Potts Camp, Mississippi. This celebrated hard-core blues festival celebrates the legacy of departed north Mississippi legends including R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough and Other Turner, many of whose children and grandchildren are now featured festival artists. Goshen was the only non-regional band invited to perform. Lioness is Goshen’s seventh CD on Frogville Planet (frogvilleplanet.com), and is available online through CD baby (cdbaby.com), MySpace and iTunes.

Influences:

FROM THE PRESS… “Hayunga’s crazy slide guitar and his voice gliding between inspired mumble and sweet croon, are irresistible.” -blogger Steve Terrell (music columnist, The Santa Fe New Mexican) “This music is what people who condemn the blues hear right before they die and go to hell,” continues Terrell. “Lioness only reinforces that. For the rest of us, Goshen can be heavenly.”
