Dave Koz and Cory Wong Announce Collaborative Album, the Golden Hour, Set for June 11 Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 7, 2021 DAVE KOZ AND CORY WONG ANNOUNCE COLLABORATIVE ALBUM, THE GOLDEN HOUR, SET FOR JUNE 11 RELEASE Video For First SinGle, “Today,” Premieres On YouTube View Here: https://youtu.be/jaTQNow5Pow June 12 Livestream Concert Will Feature The GRAMMY®-Nominated Artists PlayinG Full Album On St. Croix River Houseboat The Golden Hour, set for June 11 release, demonstrates what happens when musical masters of two different generations venture fearlessly off their regular career paths, hightail it into a live-in-the-studio session with a powerhouse ensemble, and create a momentum-shifting project that puts them on fresh creative trajectories. Saxophonist/entrepreneur Dave Koz and hipster funk/jam band guitarist Cory WonG (Vulfpeck, the Fearless Flyers, Cory and the Wongnotes) may seem an unlikely pair, but together they imbue the album with a hard-edged spontaneous combustion and wind-in-your-hair carefree coolness. They’re backed by WonG’s 10-piece band, which includes a horn section arranged by Michael Nelson, Prince’s chief horn arranger. Today, as the album pre-order launched, the two-GRAMMY nominated artists shared the exuberant first single, “Today,” and the accompanying video, which premiered on WonG’s YouTube channel. View the video HERE. Fans who pre-order The Golden Hour will instantly receive “Today.” View the album trailer HERE. See below for track listing. To celebrate the release of The Golden Hour, Koz and WonG will play the entire album live from the rooftop of a houseboat, cruising Minneapolis’ St. Croix River at sunset. The livestream concert, which will feature WonG’s band, can be seen on Looped on Saturday, June 12.
