    WPKN's debut in-studio live concert broadcast with Black Rock, Bridgeport musician, Gold Eris!

    Gold Eris was formed by singer/songwriter Thomas Oliverio in 2017. Indie/Alt/Artrock, with influences including David Bowie, St. Vincent, and notes of 90's grunge, Gold Eris recorded and self-released their debut album, Born A Quitter, in 2020. It is available on all major music platforms. The band’s sound has since evolved into a more lively, bright, and lyric-heavy live show, made possible by the talent of members Oliverio, Arachne, Morcaldi, Sudo and Gaudette - local musicians who share similar artistic vision. Gold Eris has created and established its sound over the past few years by playing numerous shows throughout Connecticut. The band’s multi-instrumentalist members relentlessly strive to push the boundaries of the conventional, through complex chord progressions and time signatures. Gold Eris is currently hard at work independently producing their sophomore album, and expect it to be released by mid 2024.
