Songwriters Tony Daugherty and Michael Winningham grew up on the same street in Houston, and after writing songs together since they were in their teens, they decided to relocate to Austin to put a band together. This band is called Gold Beach, a name inspired by the Oregon town where the Rogue River meets the Pacific Ocean. Now some kind of collective including a plethora of regional talent, Gold Beach manages to keep its sound sparse and intimate, notwithstanding the expanding lineup.
