// About the duo

Two voices,
one Northwoods sound.

The Kaleidoscope Jos are Carolyn Jo and Joni Clare, two friends weaving harmonies, guitar, keys, and just enough percussion to make the floorboards bounce. Rooted in the Wisconsin Northwoods and Upper Peninsula, the duo plays breweries, distilleries, listening rooms, and porch parties from Iron Mountain to Eagle River.

Expect originals that read like short stories, covers re-imagined the way friends would sing them around a campfire, and a stage banter that occasionally goes off the rails.

Carolyn Jo
Soul vocals, guitar

Soul singer at heart, harmonizer, occasional percussion.

Joni Clare
Vocals, keys, percussion

Songwriter, pianist by training, kaleidoscope-eyed by nature.
