folk duo
Two-person acoustic act
A folk duo is a pair of musicians who perform folk music together, typically featuring acoustic instruments and vocal harmonies.
The format often involves two singers accompanying themselves on guitars, with the intimacy of the pairing suited to folk's emphasis on storytelling and traditional songs: Simon and Garfunkel began as a folk duo in the early sixties.
