The Kaleidoscope Jos are Carolyn Jo & Joni Clare, a Northwoods Wisconsin folk duo — two voices, guitar, keys, percussion. Originals and re-imagined covers for breweries, listening rooms, and outdoor stages.
The Kaleidoscope Jos formed in the Wisconsin Northwoods around a shared love of harmony singing and the kind of folk songs that hold a room. Carolyn Jo brings the guitar and the songwriting; Joni Clare the keys, percussion, and a second voice that turns every chorus into a kaleidoscope.
The duo plays a mix of originals and covers — sometimes acoustic, sometimes plugged in — across breweries, distilleries, parks, and private events from Iron Mountain to Three Lakes.

“Two voices, one guitar, and a room that forgot it was Tuesday.”
