DUANE CARLETON Biography/Discography Details 

     

Duane Carleton is the newest voice of rural America. His songs capture the essence of working class life. Whether he is describing the everyday people of small town America and their relationships or the struggles that they encounter in their day-to-day lives, he conveys the beauty and tragedy of a disappearing lifestyle. His music, which is a rich blend of Rock, Country, Folk and Blues falls into the Americana genre. He paints a vast and colorful landscape with his songwriting as he covers the spectrum from poetic ballads, to upbeat rockers, to political story songs that could be aptly described as the offspring of The Band and The Allman Brothers.

Duane was born, raised, and continues to reside in rural New England and his upbringing is evident in his work ethic. He currently plays 200 - 300 dates a year, has released 15 albums as well as 2 DVD's. His cd entitled, "Once Lost, Then Torn Down" on the Higher Road Records label, garnered a Tammie award (Times Argus Grammie) for "Best Rock Album" of 2007. He has appeared as a guest on no less than 15 other cd’s by artists as varied as, Bicycle Mary, John Erlandson, and Laura Molinelli. He has opened shows and performed with such luminaries as Rick Danko of The Band, Steve Miller, ZZ Top, Gov’t Mule, Don McLean, Bret Michaels, Eddie Money, Loverboy, The Fixx, Jimmy LaFave, The Smithereens, and Steve Forbert to name just a few.

In addition, his song, "The True American" appeared in the HBO documentary, "Dirty Driving-Thunder Cars of Indiana", the Edgewood Entertainment horror film, "Arachnia" which has been aired on the Starz Edge, Encore, and Encore Action channels featured his song, "Find My Way Down", and the snowboard video, "Pipe Dreams" featured several of his tunes. Most recently, his song, "Long Way Down" was featured in the FX Network drama, "Justified". He has also had songs used in television ads for Killington Ski Resort, Taylor’s Clear River Tavern, and Advance Music Center. His album, "American Boy" contained guest appearances by Garth Hudson of The Band, Meshell Ndegeocello (John Mellencamp, David Bowie, Lou Reed, and a 2009 Grammy nominee) and Joseph Wooten of The Steve Miller Band and The Victor Wooten Band. In 2010 Duane was invited by Michelle Shocked to perform his song "The Ballad of Horace Greene" at one of her shows.

In 2011, Duane released his critically acclaimed album, "Rust" which went on to win the Tammie Award for Best Rock Album as well. He was voted Best Guitarist in the music magazine Cider Mag and was also awarded their Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2012, the fans also voted Duane the Favorite Acoustic Act in Cider Mag.
