Mountain Duo formed about three years ago when Ethan and Kerry, the two guitarists of the group, were looking for bands to join. Once they met each other and started playing guitar together, they decided to band together as a duo, which could easily fit into small breweries to perform.

They describe themselves as players of Guitar Music, or Guitar Music from the 20th Century. They play all kinds of genres from classic rock to country to pop and even metal. Kerry considers the shows they play a love letter to the guitar.

Kerry cites influences such as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Ozzy Osbourne, and Green Day, and says that classic rock most likely makes up the majority of their repertoire. Their goal is to be “familiar yet surprising” and to play guitar with no additional support from loopers, tapes, backing tracks, or even capos. With one acoustic guitar and one electric guitar, the group aims to sound like a band with just their skills on the guitar.

Kerry can’t remember a time when either of them didn’t play guitar. They consider themselves guitar players first and foremost, focusing solely on their instrument of choice. They love being able to perform for a live audience and are proud of the fact that they can perform at a volume that allows everyone to talk amongst themselves during the show.

The duo originally planned to play in Nederland in 2020 before the pandemic hit. Now, two years later, they’re excited to finally make their way back to Nederland and perform for the residents there.

You can see Mountain Duo perform live at Very Nice Brewing Company, 20 East Lakeview Drive, #112 in Nederland, on Sunday, April 17, 2022, at 4 p.m. Here are the listings of live music this week! Check it out and support your local musicians.
