We are the Duketow family...
Rhythm and Grace is the Duketow (Du-KET-oh) family, a Celtic-Folk band of siblings from beautiful farm country near Lakefield, ON.
Swooped up into the musical world at young ages, the siblings, now ranging from ages 10 to 25 grew up with music as a natural and enriching element of every-day life. These young musicians were raised in an immersion of vibrant Celtic music, as well as many other styles, including Jazz and Latin music featured within their close-knit, amazing musical community. The many styles of music surrounding them in their development have shaped their unique and creative Celtic-Folk sound, which has been shared with thousands of people in concerts across Canada from Newfoundland to British Columbia. Their consistent hard work and passion for their craft has led them to become highly sought after for a wide variety of events, such as the 2026 summer-long Saturday night show in contract with the Fern Resort, Orillia. With every occasion they reach for deeper connection with the music and with their audience, bringing to life the breathtaking melodies, “dirt,” and rhythms of voices, instruments and step-dance shoes. The release of their November, 2026 album, Tunes for the Journey, marks a great milestone in the journey of Rhythm and Grace. This album, and every experience of their music, is truly a glimpse of their hearts, as they celebrate and express the many beautiful, difficult, but refining moments throughout their years of sharing their passion and love for music with all whom they encounter.
Music has not only brought these siblings closer to one-another, but deepened their great appreciation for all who share with them in the joy that it brings. Above all, the siblings, Caleb, MaryGrace, Bethany, Rachel, Madeline, Monica, Kristen, Stephen, and Marissa are grateful to their friends and community for their inspiration and encouragement, to their loved ones and their parents, Alex and Miriam, for their untiring support and example, and to God for the incredible blessing of music.
