Essence & Gold Country Releases Music Video for “Good Mom”
A Mother’s Day Gift to All Moms
San Francisco, CA, May 8, 2026 – Essence & Gold Country, the Americana roots project of acclaimed San Francisco singer-songwriter Essence Goldman, announces the release of the music video for her hysterical, heartfelt ode to mothers everywhere, "Good Mom.” Honored by BGS as one of the top songs of the week in their You Gotta Hear This premieres
“Essence & Gold Country have a gut-busting video to tribute Mother’s Day and every “Good Mom” out there. As frontwoman Essence Goldman puts it, it’s all about “the beautiful chaos of motherhood and the truth that we don’t have to lose ourselves to be a good mom.” It’s bluegrassycountry that will get your toe tapping while bringing a smile to your face.” - BGS
In conjunction with the release, Essence & Gold Country is officially making May “Love Your Mother Month.” Launching a fun social campaign celebrating moms who take care of everyone else while also making time for themselves. The campaign encourages moms to post the fun, relaxing, and joyful things they do to recharge and tag @EssenceandGoldCountry #GoodMom. Essence will share her favorites throughout the month and select weekly winners for “Good Mom” prize packs. At the end of the month, she will share a video compilation of all the “Good Mom” moments, because being a good mom does not mean giving up who you are!
The rowdy, light-hearted music video is available today on YouTube.
