Now a regular in the duncan traveling roadshow, John has played
with many talented and well known artists, including Southside
Johnny, Cher, Madonna, Darlene Love, and Jimmy Cliff. John worked
in the orchestra for the Broadway production of "The Who's Tommy"
and released a CD with Vibes player Craig Peyton called Latitude-Blue Curve.
John is adept at electric and acoustic guitar, Pedal Steel, Lap Steel, Dobro,
and Tiple. He also performs regularly with The John Putnam Band. John and Bob
have known each other for more years than either will admit. That he still
would play with us is thrilling beyond words. |

| Rob Glick | |
|
Rob Glick and Bob Duncan have known each other for years.
This friendship grounds all their musical collaborations. Simply put,
duncan considers Rob to be the "perfect bassist." When he's not busy
making babies, Rob writes and records his own songs. |

| Alfredo Hidrovo | |
|
Panamanian born and Berklee trained, Alfredo Hidrovo
adds a unique sensibility to every duncan song he plays.
A songwriter/arranger in his own right, Alfredo plays with a
slew of well-known New York musicians. His compositional efforts
are best appreciated on "Caracol" his first solo recording. |

| Joey Molland | |
|
Joey Molland plays lead guitar on several tracks from duncan's upcoming
release Albatross. Bob enthuses "I was knocked out when Joey came to
visit, hanging for several days to cut these tracks. I actually wrote
"Somethings are Over" in anticipation of his playing with us." Joey is
best known as the lead guitarist from Liverpool's legendary band, and
Apple recording artists, Badfinger. It is Joey's inimitable style heard
on all Badfinger penned classic hits like "No Matter What," "Baby Blue"
and "Without You." Today Joey lives in the US and still rocks out with his
own solo projects, most recently last year's "This Way Up" on Independent
Artists. |

| Omar Hakim | |
|
"Many players play with all sorts of players, but Omar was in
Weather Report and played in the bands of Sting, Madonna and now J. Lo.
He is the king of groove. He bailed us out last year when we were momentarily
drummerless, but he insisted we rehearse at least twice. That was exactly twice
our normal pre-gig regimen. What a pro! Thanks, Omar!" |

| Jay Dittamo | |
|
Our good friend, the amazing Jay Dittamo can learn a song in half the time
it takes to play it. A one time regular member of the duncan band, Jay
still sits in to save us on a regular basis. His fabulous drumming graced
the TOURIST IN LOVETOWN ep.
He has toured in Europe and the States in The Band from Utopia, an assembly of
Frank Zappa Band veterans who undertook a Zappaesque tribute by recreating many of
his songs live, ultimately for a CD release. He has also played with Chuck Berry,
The Drifters, Rick Derringer, Mark Anthony, Willie Colon and C&C Music Factory. He
is currently a touring member of Junoon, Pakistan and East Asia's top rock band.
They've been on VH-1, toured the world and played at the United Nations. War,
however, persists. |

| Yves Gerard | |
|
Our good friend Yves Gerard is an extraordinary drummer who has
graced the duncan ensemble on many occasions through the years. He is
always basic and groovy. Most recently, he can be heard on many of the
tracks from the upcoming CD "Albatross." . He has toured and recorded with
artists such as Rick Ocasek, Blood, Sweat and Tears, and Patti Rothberg.
Lately he has moved more into the realm of writing and production, but is
still one of those drummers you-have-to-hear. In a larger sense-it all is and
will always be just wine and cheese to him. |
