Singer-songwriter Daniel Rice and bandmate Hayden Doyel originally formed Brim as a rootsy side project to their main gig in psychedelic hard-rock band Slow Season, now known as Westing. Written and recorded in their hometown of Visalia, CA, the band's debut album 'California Gold' is a paen to the dirt-road-back-streets and down to earth humanity of rural California's small towns and agricultural valleys. The album recalls the lonesome pedal steel of Bakersfield country, Gram Parson's stories of sin and salvation, and Neil Young's loose and dusty years on the beach.
