Grad School…
We just finished week number 5 and our brains are so full, we can’t believe there are 9 more weeks of this.
But first, THIS WEEK!!!!!
We are having our big “Goli Goes to Grad School” Send-off this Thursday Oct. 6th. It is at the Lizard Lounge and the line up for the night is stellar. It will feature guitar/cello duo Flightless Buttress and the multi-instumental/multi-vocal trio of The And Company.
For those of you with good memories, we put together this same line-up over the summer at Yes.Oui.Si. All of the bands were so mutually enamored of each other, we couldn’t resisting asking both Flightless Buttress and The And Company to join us for our last show until we get our school legs under us.
Truthfully, we may not be playing out until winter break or so, so please come and have a great time with us! And bring friends, friends are awesome!
If you stick around until Midnight, you can wish Val a Happy Birthday!

We in Goli-land are excited to be broadcasting our little musical selves over the airwaves live tonight! We’ll be playing on this lovely local radio program called “On the Town with Mikey Dee” on WMFO. For those of you within the Boston area, WMFO is Tufts’ radio station and you can find it at 91.5FM (Somerville/Medford area.) If you aren’t in the area or can’t pick up the signal (really, who has a radio these days), you can stream the program live at www.wmfo.org.
“On the Town with Mikey Dee” begins at 9pm and Goli will play a 45minute live set at 10:30. After the set, there will be a little interview by Boston rock darlings, Michael J. Epstein and Sophia Cacciola.
We hope you get a chance to tune-in and we can’t wait to share some new and old tunes with you!

Dear Goli friends and supporters,
We have some exciting news for you as Summer is getting ready to turn into Fall, bringing with it a cocktail of nostalgia and excitement.
As most of you know already, both Val and Vess will be starting a master’s degree program in Contemporary Improvisation at New England Conservatory, and we have a very special show for you:
Goli Goes Back To School!

If October is too far for you, here are a few Goli sightings for you to consider:
TONIGHT! Goli will appear live on Boston Cable TV (Channel 9). The show is “It’s All About Arts” and it airs from 6 – 7pm. If you are unable to watch it tonight, it will run again on:
Tuesday at 2:30 a.m. and 10:00 am
Friday at 8 pm
Sunday at 6:30 am
Next, you can see us play this Wednesday, August 24th at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, supporting Sarah Rabdau‘s alter ego Foolish Ida. This show is the third of the awesome Jaggery residency, and as these things go, we will likely play on a few Jaggery songs as well.
Then the following Wednesday, August 31st GOLI will play on WMFO’s “On The Town with Micky D.” The show airs at 9pm, or you can hear it here: http://www.wmfo.org
We will play a bunch of new songs as well as a few trusted old-ies.
As always, stay in touch via the interwebs, and don’t forget to go out and check out live music. It wouldn’t be the same without you!
Love,
Val+Vess = GOLI
Dear friends and supporters of all things Goli,
We are happy to announce a little mini tour we are about to undertake, and very much hope to share with as many of you as possible! Our good friend, and wonderful singer/songwriter/guitarist D.J. Phillips, is visiting from Nashville, and we’ll join forces (and gas money) in order to deliver some good music around the area.
Read up the deets for each night, then pick your most convenient spot and come on out to share the music!

Dear NYCitizens,
The gray skies have abated (a little) in Boston and we can’t wait to celebrate the coming of summer this with you and Caffe Vivaldi! Wait?!? Wasn’t Goli at Caffe Vivaldi earlier this month? We were, but we just can’t stay away. With great food and drink, delightful waitresses and the coziest musical atmosphere ever-how can you blame us?
But wait, there’s more…
Not only will you get a 2nd rousing dousing of a Goli earful this month, you will get the chance to hear our dear buds Box Five (w/a little Val sitting in) if you come early. Yay! I think we should have a new, ultra-cute cover for you, if we keep up the diligent practicing.
Here are the details: (don’t forget to commit them to memory!)

We just got word that the show time has changed for the Noir Cabaret show (w/Goli, Craig Robertson and Yani Batteau & the Styles) at Johnny D’s this Thursday.

Thursday May 19th
Johnny D’s

We do hope to see you there!
Thanks,

We’ve had quite the busy spring and can’t wait to get out and share some of this “little duo that can” with you. We survived our auditions for NEC and both made it into their Contemporary Improvisation Masters Program. Vess just wrapped up another stunning residency at the Lizard Lounge with Bury Me Standing and Val is hot off tour of the UK & Ireland with the Laura Cortese Acoustic Project (actually she’s still in Scotland as you read this.) Our fingers and throats are itching to bring you some tango-classical-rock-world music influenced tunes about love and death and all the in-between.
We are delighted to announce that our next Goli sighting is going to be quite the song-laden soirée with Yani Batteau & the Styles and Craig Robertson (of Ukulele Noir fame) at Johnny D’s.
Here are the deets:
***THURSDAY MAY 19th***

Johnny D’s is a fun place to play and hear music (and eat food) so we do hope you join us and bring any friends/relatives/strangers that clearly have a Goli deficiency in their lives.
We sound better when you share us with someone you love (or at least tolerate.) : )
+++++++
Hot Fun in the Summer, Anyone?
We will be back on the cobblestones this summer, rocking the touristas with our mad melange of music stylings at Fanueil Hall. This is our third summer participating in their street performer program and we can’t think of a better way to spend our sunny afternoons than playing music for the people. Please follow us at www.twitter.com/golimusic or www.facebook.com/golimusic for updates on those appearances.
+++++++
Getting Experimental
In April, we had the opportunity to perform at Hypothesis at the Midway (thanks to all who came out.) We took pre-existing Goli favs and tweaked them a bit to explore the show’s theme (Hot vs. Cold.) Here the links to these experiments. We do hope you enjoy! (thanks to David A. for the vid.)
