[edit] History and Discography

Goshen has released seven albums, with three on Frogville Records.

Goshen (self titled), was released in 1994 and featured Grant Hayunga (guitar and vocals), Aimee Curl (bass and vocals), David Tiller (mandolin), Matthew Vaughn (violin) and William Bartley (drums). Members of ThaMuseMeant presented this album to Bill Palmer of Hundred Year Flood on a trip to Austin, Texas shortly after it's release. This album persuaded Palmer to take a look at the Santa Fe music scene. Grant Hayunga is Goshen, as it has had a revolving cast until Jim Palmer joined as drummer in 2001 and in 2004 brother Bill Palmer began sitting in mostly on Hammond keys as well as Producing and Engineering "Circus Wife" and "Lioness" at Frogville Records studios.

Goshen played the North Mississippi Hill Country Blues Picnic in 2007 and was invited back for 2008.
