About Me

Duality infuses American roots and funky folk-rock music with Celtic and Afro-Cuban flavors, bringing a fresh perspective to familiar tunes, as well as originals. Moving effortlessly across musical styles, Duality resonates with a wide range of audiences.

Spencer's Restaurant, and the Masonic Temple. Duality has played at the Live! From the Living Room coffee house in Pontiac and will be playling in Gladwin this summer.Jon, Kathy, and Terri also previously performed together as part of "Hoolie", a celtic influenced band, which performed in a variety of venues, including the Midland Folk Society, the Ten Pound Fiddle, and in folk clubs in England and Scotland.
