The Nashville-based wife-and-husband team Jackie Berkley & Zach Schmidt recorded the new video live on location at Chepstow


 

The Preservation Society of Newport County (Newport Mansions) has released the newest video in its ongoing "Sessions" music video series. The video features Jackie Berkley and Zach Schmidt of Golden Everything, a Nashville-based wife-and-husband Americana duo, performing the songs “Spare Me” from the album “Sweet Old World,” “Oak Tree” from the album “Down Time” and the previously unreleased songs “Wide Awake” and “The Real Thing." The video is available to view now on the Newport Mansions YouTube channel.

Newport Mansions' "Sessions" series pairs live acoustic performances with some of the most historically significant architecture in the United States. Invited musicians record sets inside or on the grounds of the historic properties. Each session is filmed without an audience and captured in a single take, using one condenser microphone to highlight the distinctive acoustics of each location.

ABOUT GOLDEN EVERYTHING
Nothing shines brighter than a genuine connection between two people — and the one that binds Golden Everything is 24-karat. The concept between wife-and-husband duo Jackie Berkley and Zach Schmidt started as a happy accident and has evolved into a project about having the freedom to be open to exploration, committed to creating together and seeing the shine in everything.

The duo from Nashville has released two albums: "Sweet Old World," released in late 2024, and the acoustic EP "Down Time," released on July 7, 2026. In trying to find a balance in creativity and raising a child, Golden Everything seeks to not overthink it.
