Golden Aster & Will Greenleaf

Like wild streams through Appalachian forests, Golden Aster's harmonies wind their way through lush, indie-folk soundscapes. Vocals take the spotlight, supported by unapologetically mellow grooves and spacious electric guitar.

Hear Golden Aster's enchanting performance on Friday, December 6 as they share the stage with Will Greenleaf (MD/DC songwriter and brother of David Mckindley-Ward). This is the two band show that Baltimore has been waiting for. Their music will be bouncing off the walls of your favorite local brewery into your soul and transport you to places and feelings you never knew existed.

~~~~Golden Aster's story~~~~

After the tours of their respective projects were waylaid by the pandemic, Baltimore-based folk musicians Laura Wortman and Letitia VanSant each found solace in the woods, Laura hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains and Letitia exploring the nooks and crannies of Herring Run Park. In the midst of both societal heartbreak and personal grief, they started writing songs that felt medicinal to sing and play. As friends who enjoyed harmonizing together, they decided to cozy up and record an album.

The results are contemplative, intimate, and easy to take in. Each song shares a different aspect of the healing and lessons they found in nature, with themes like letting go of control, embracing humility, and breaking free of others’ expectations.

Each established musicians in their own right, this project allows exciting new aspects of their artistry to shine. Laura Wortman has thousands of shows under her belt as part of the celebrated experimental folk duo the Honey Dewdrops, but this album debuts her intuitive ease with the electric guitar. Letitia VanSant is known for well-considered lyrics, yet with this project she got out of her head and leaned on melodic sensibilities. Their album, Marcescence, was released in the summer of 2023.
