Boy Golden Shares “Suffer” (Acoustic)
Listen Here
Americana Honors & Awards Emerging Act of the Year Nomination
Summer Festival Run Crosses North America
Boy Golden shares a new acoustic take on “Suffer,” an undeniably powerful song that hit #1 in November, 2025 and has spent most of 2026 in the Top 3 at Canadian alternative radio. This Tascam-recorded analog version brings listeners into the songwriter/producer’s creative process. From Best of Our Possible Lives, “Suffer” is a meditation on life as we know it. The urgency and timeliness of the question “I want to know where my money went,” has only grown since its release.
An imaginative and compelling breakout album, Best of Our Possible Lives continues to make its mark in the world. Recently nominated for Americana Honors & Awards’ Emerging Act of the Year, Boy Golden’s new work has received critical acclaim including coverage from Rolling Stone, CBC Q, FLOOD, Holler, Under the Radar, Billboard and more.
Boy Golden has been on the road since last fall on tour with William Prince, Cat Clyde and for headline shows in the USA. The summer schedule includes appearances at marquee festivals across North America, with major Canadian stops including Calgary Stampede, FIFA Fan Festival and opening for Mother Mother at Sobeys Stadium in Toronto in September.
Best of Our Possible Lives is out now on Six Shooter Records.

A moonstone glow infuses Boy Golden’s Best of Our Possible Lives, an album that reveals its properties - intuition, emotional balance and transformation - through twelve songs of self-discovery. With Best of Our Possible Lives, songwriter/producer Boy Golden’s artistic approach is as philosophical as it is musical. This new work finds him mid-journey, on a quest for honesty with a willingness to examine and accept the self as it was, as it is, and as it can be.
Buoyant, smooth and disarming, as a whole Best of Our Possible Lives draws lines from the Tulsa sound to swampy New Orleans folk. With the lo-fi mystery of mk.gee, the laid-back swagger of MJ Lenderman and the lyrical intimacy of Waxhatachee, Boy Golden’s music is fresh, observational and honest. His melodies wax nostalgia for the giants (think Paul Simon, Tom Petty and J.J. Cale), yet ring true as the work of a young artist, right now.
Who is Boy Golden? A conduit for creation, this artistic persona is both an abstraction and a distillation. A shortcut to the flow state, perhaps, Boy Golden grants access to an inner world that can only be known through songwriting. His previous three albums, which include the wistful For Eden, rollicking For Jimmy and debut album, Boy Golden’s lemon yellow leisure suited Church of Better Daze, have served as a psychic clearing of way for Best of Our Possible Lives. “Each new body of work I have finished has pushed me personally towards greater acceptance of myself as a whole person.”
