Boy Golden is a real character. In more ways than one.
First and foremost, he’s the musical alter ego of Winnipeg singer-songwriter Liam Duncan, formerly of the band The Middle Coast. But Boy Golden is more than just a stage name; he’s an extension of Duncan’s personality that has expanded into something of a full-bodied entity on his own. Somewhere between a preacher, a teacher and a self-help guru, Boy Golden is the founder, leader, minister and principal songwriter of his own Church Of Better Daze, a weed-centric collective that espouses Duncan’s philosophies on life, work, spirituality, common goals and collaboration — all delivered through a haze of cannabis with some KD and lunch meat on the side. You can hear it in Boy Golden‘s recent debut album, the fittingly titled Church Of Better Daze, a breezy roots-pop disc that worships at the altar of fellow mellow artists like JJ Cale. But don’t think for a second that Duncan is just some lazy doper; he’s already hard at work on his next album. While holed up in a cabin writing and recording, he took a break to talk about his relationship with Boy Golden, the Trojan horses hidden in his music, and how to stay crispy.
