Golden Shoulders is a musician's collective from Nevada City, California. Formed in 2001 by songwriter Adam Kline, the group has featured significant contributions by such notables as Joanna Newsom, Kyle Field (Little Wings), Neal Morgan(Joanna Newsom), Todd Roper and Greg Brown (Cake, Deathray), Rich Good (the Pleased), Dan Elkan (Pocket for Corduroy), Josh Klinghoffer (John Frusciante, Vincent Gallo, Beck, PJ Harvey), Rusty Miller (Jackpot), Rob Kieswetter (Bobby Birdman) and more.
This rotating cast and the accompanying stylistic restlessness has naturally led to an organic sense of variety from performance to performance, and recording to recording.
