Spinning Gold

After becoming reacquainted in the summer of 2023, Trisha Daniel and Ron Collins began performing together as a duo.  They got along so well, they got married the following summer! Together, they play Ron's original songs and tunes from Trisha's extensive Americana repertoire with an emphasis on harmony vocals. 

Trisha Daniel is a Klamath Falls–based musician rooted in folk and Americana traditions, known for her powerful, expressive vocal style and steady strumming on her 12-string acoustic guitar. Her singing exudes warmth and confidence, with an occasional raw growl that punctuates key moments and gives emotional weight to the songs. Trisha Daniel and Jim Gillam began playing together in 2019 and have since played in numerous venues around Klamath County.  Jim adds fiery, soulful harmonica stylings and occasional vocals to Trisha's music.
