HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE
BY MARIE GRILLO AND
LORA GRILLO
Perhaps you’re planning on
buying an iTunes gift card
for the music lover in your
life this holiday season, but
we have some ideas for you
that are a little more unique.
We found six diverse and
inspiring local bands and
musicians that have songs
or records available for
purchase.
Whether you’re looking for
singer-songwriter music,
pop or punk, we’ve got
you covered. Each of these
artists have a unique and
enjoyable sound that will
turn the holiday volume
up to 11. So give the gift of
local music this year — or find
something you like and buy
it for yourself!

Golda
Golda Shein is a singer-songwriter
based in Astoria. Her
traditional folk style music tells
relatable stories of lost loves,
devastating crushes and the
universal struggle to be good
to oneself.
You’ll find her beautiful,
pitch-perfect voice and harmonies
on her debut EP, “A
Little Luck.” Her track “Secret
Girl” will become an instant
favorite and features her
warm alto voice alongside
rootsy Americana rock and
folk.
If you are a fan of Lucinda
Williams or Joan Osborne, you
should give Golda a listen. Go
to www.thatgolda.com to check
her out! If you are in, or near,
the neighborhood, Golda plays
gigs around town at LIC Beer
Project and many others, along
with her husband/sideman Jeff
on guitar, backup vocals and
harmonica.
