We are the Duketow family...
Rhythm and Grace is the DuKETow family, a band of siblings from Lakefield, ON. They live in the beautiful farm country near Peterborough, Ontario, surrounded by fields, forests, lakes, and rivers.
Their parents, Miriam and Alex, began writing songs together when they first met. Marriage, children, then music lessons have led to a dynamic home-life filled with music from morning till night. The children, Caleb, MaryGrace, Bethany, Rachel, Madeline, Monica, Kristen, Stephen, and Marissa range from 10 to 25 years old. They contribute to the family music with their fiddles, step-dancing, vocal harmonies, electric bass, guitar, piano, and the Irish whistle.
When the family isn't out playing Celtic-Folk Concerts, they are home building a rapidly growing repertoire of original songs and instrumentals. Their songs resonate with the tones of traditional Celtic music, accompanied by an energizing contemporary influence within fiddle tunes, vocal harmonies and percussive step-dancing.
