48. When We Wake with Duke & Goldie

About this episode

Andrew Shaver interviews Eric Duquette and Jena GoGo about their musical journey as Duke and Goldie.

On today’s episode of When We Wake , I’m talking with Eric Duquette and Jena GoGo AKA Duke and Goldie - a duo whose entire story basically starts with a Craigslist ad in Toronto. Jena put out a call for a guitar player and, perhaps unsurprisingly, a whole host of guys answered, but it was Eric who fit the bill. So the two bonded over a shared love of Motown and Radiohead, played in a band together, fell in love, fell out of that earlier band and eventually spun all of it into Duke and Goldie . It’s been a journey that’s taken Jenna from the West Coast to Toronto, Eric from east to Toronto, and now both of them to Vancouver, where they’ve made their home. And, where they recorded their new album, Romance and Ramblin' , in the basement bunker at CBC. We get into how this all unfolded, how they write, and how the partnership, musical and otherwise, keeps shaping the sound. @dukeandgoldie Wanna get in touch?
