Goldpine
Through a chance encounter in Nashville back in 2006,\xa0Benjamin and Kassie Wilson\xa0were sure of each other from the start. \u201cKassie knew she was going to marry me from the first time she saw me\u2026and she was right,\u201d\xa0Ben gloats.\xa0Formerly known as My One and Only, the duo has reimagined their\n\u201csouthern-soul,\u201d \u201ccurious-grit\u201d and emotionally honest lyrics into\xa0Americana act, Goldpine. Having released their self-produced debut LP,\xa0One\xa0last year, they\u2019re gearing up to deliver their\xa0second full-length record,\xa0Two\xa0\u2014\xa0set for release on\xa0Friday, September 8.\xa0 After nearly a decade of honing in on their sound, and evolving their music, the name didn\u2019t necessarily grow along with it. \u201cWe were called My One and Only for about 5 years,\u201d\xa0the two explain. \u201cThroughout those years we realized that the name was putting out a certain vibe, of the depth of the music, that\nwas not quite accurate with where our style was heading.\u201d Drawing inspiration from their roots, the name\xa0Goldpine\xa0signifies their past and their future; Kassie grew up on Pines Road in Alabama, so \u2018pine\u2019 represents the past and \u2018gold\u2019 is the lasting and valuable element that represents the\nfuture.\xa0
