In Layman Terms is a nationally acclaimed act that has performed all over the United States as a sibling duo and a full band. Their unique and diverse sound ranges from gritty, foot-stomping acoustic work to that of an electrified big band with Americana undertones, funk, and a hint of modern flair. Their compelling, content-filled original music has had airplay worldwide, has ranked nationally on the charts, and has had rave reviews by reputable musicians and reviewers.
The Adrian Duke Projek featuring Theresa Richmond. Adrian Duke grew up in Richmond, VA, and now calls Charlottesville, VA home. He grew up as a multi-instrumentalist, but soon after studying jazz piano at VCU in Richmond, discovered the New Orleans musical tradition of Professor Longhair, James Booker & Dr. John, that Duke would make the foundation of his sound as a piano player. Adrian Duke and Theresa Richmond met in 1999 in Durham, NC, not far from the rural parts of the state where Richmond grew up singing in the church. With a lifelong virtuosity in gospel music, Richmond began touring the globe in the 80s with the Angelic Gospel Singers, an all-female musical group led by the late gospel icon Margaret Wells Allison. The similarities between Adrian’s New Orleans blues and Theresa’s Southern gospel roots made the duo a natural fit. Duke’s raw, unprocessed vocals are perfectly balanced against Richmond’s sassy grace.
