A country folk duo featuring Kendall Singleton and Rob Matson.

Rob Matson and Kendall Singleton are an interstate duo that enjoys applying a folk flavor to music of all genres, from Broadway to Renaissance.

They teamed up after meeting at a Bluegrass jam in New York and discovered many shared musical interests and a shared history of performing a wide range of music. They were in rehearsals and had begun recording a collection of their favorite music when Covid upended their lives in New York and sent both of them south: Kendall to North Carolina and Rob to Arkansas. They continue to collaborate, meeting nearly weekly online, and relish the opportunities they have to play and perform in person.

Rob Matson: piano, mandolin, guitar, bass, voice, arrangements.
