Exploring themes of masculinity, fatherhood, resilience, and escapism, Dream Like A Dogwood Wild Boy sees Golding working elements of blues, heartland rock, and Americana through jazz.

“The album is ultimately about growing up, finding strength and doing things better. It’s hard to articulate these points with instrumental music, but they’re in there,” explains Golding.

Dream Like A Dogwood Wild Boy features contributions from Daniel Casimir, Sarah Tandy, Billy Adamson, and Sam Jones.
