Analise Victoria Gold

Analise, the big sister, was born in San Angelo, Texas. Analise plays the mandolin, sings lead and harmony parts, and handles most of the emcee duties for the band. She is also the band organizer and helps with the song arrangements. Believe it or not she played the highland bagpipes for two years before getting into bluegrass. It was a tough decision but she gave up the bagpipes to devote more time to playing bluegrass with her sisters. Analise has also co-authored two songs with Jocey. Analise has placed second at the Virginia Folk Music Association contest in the Adult Female Vocalist division two years in a row. This is a great achievement as the competition is always stacked with many talented performers and singers from all over the state of Virginia.


 

Jocelyn Amanda Gold

Jocelyn was born in Tucson, Arizona, and plays the guitar and sings lead, baritone, tenor and high baritone vocals. Several accomplished bluegrass artists have commented favorably about Jocelyn’s awesome rhythm guitar playing ability. She also contributes her incredible song writing skills to the band. Four of the many songs she has penned are featured on the debut album Journey to Heaven’s Bright Shore. Not only is Jocey the chief song writer and arranger she is the glue that holds the band together. Jocelyn placed third in the 2007  Junior Entertainer division at the Virginia Folk Music Association and second in 2006 contest. She also placed  third in the Promising Young Talent division at the 2007 Yadkinville Old Time and Fiddlers Competition in North Carolina


 

Shelby Hope Gold

 

Shelby was born in Brunswick, Georgia. This little lady is turning ears at festivals and jam session with her amazing fiddle breaks. Shelby not only plays the fiddle but sings beautiful lead and harmony vocals. She keeps the entire band on its toes adding fills and inserting spur-of-the-moment breaks wherever she can. Shelby is the 2007 and 2006 Virginia Folk Music Association Junior Entertainer. Recently she also placed second in the Promising Young Talent division at the 2007 Yadkinville Old Time and Fiddlers Competition held in North Carolina. At her very first fiddle contest in Sierra Vista, Arizona, in September of 2005, Shelby walked away with fourth place. That was after she had only been playing for about three months.


 

Trent Gold
Keeping watch over the brood and playing the upright bass is Daddy—Trent Gold. He was born in Honolulu but has his roots deeply embedded in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri where most of his extended family still resides. This proud papa has always been an avid supporter of the girls and their music.


 

Zach Gilmer
Zachary is the newest addition to Gold Heart. He was born in Charlottsville, Virginia. He became interested in the banjo at the age of 10.  In 2007 Zach placed #1 in the banjo category at both the Maury River Fiddlers Convention in Buena Vista and at the Virginia Folk Music Associations Competition in Chesterfield. Zach enjoys hunting, fishing, and riding his dirt bike but most of all he loves playing his banjo.
