My fiancee heard you tonight at the Nutter event and thought you were fantastic.  Do you play at weddings?  

Thank you.

I've got 3 and House of Forbidden Love and I love them both. If they were on vinyl I would have wore out the grooves by now. Any recording plans for 2008?

Awesome! You guys are fantastic. I was searching for variants of Bring It On Home and stumbled onto yours -- easily one of the best I have ever heard. I loved your other blues and R&B standards as well. What talent!

"One of my most powerful experiences with the Dukes was at the "3" release party at the old original Warmdaddy's. The place was completely packed, and the band was supercharged with the impassioned enthusiasm of Dukes fans. John's harp playing just about tore my heart out and still, everybody had room to shine."

People often ask me, what are you passionate about? And, of course, on any given day that answer could vary. But one thing I know will never change---I have always been and will remain passionate about the Dukes of Destiny. Although life has a way of, well, getting in the way, the Dukes will always be there for me whether it be in person or though a CD. From the first time I heard them at an office party in the early 90s, through the North Star Bar days, to the Mermaid Inn to working with them on their most recent CD, they have given me years of enjoymentfrom dancing all night to developing a bond with each member. I can honestly call them my good friends

What I love about you guys is that you love playing so much-it is clear from your smiles and your energy and the way you get excited about each other’s solos. And that excitement gets the crowd excited. There aren’t many bands that put out the energy and joy you do. Thanks

Dear Dukes: 

I saw Bob Holden at Warmdaddy's last week and it was great catching
 up with him and getting updates on you guys. He gave me the new CD and it is
fantastic.  

Arlyn and John are doing an amazing job fronting the band, and I'm
looking forward to catching you guys live one of these days. It is wonderful
that you are keeping the Dukes torch burning so brightly. 

As soon as the first track started with Rich's bass line and Arlyn's vocal, on a song John wrote, the first thing I said was, "This sounds like the Dukes!" It really is an immediately recognizable, signature sound. 

Keep on rockin', and I hope to see you soon.

What a fantastic "show" yesterday in New Hope. A place we will have to return 
to, of course when you are there.  Also, the photo gallery on your site is great. 
Arlyn is a great addition!

Can you give me Rich Curtis' web site, I'd like to see Mike's pic.
Again, another rockin night!

I was at your performance on Saturday night at the Turtledove, and although I told you in person I just wanted to reiterate what a wonderful time I had. Thank you all so very 
much for sharing your talent with us!

Dear John and the rest of the Dukes of Destiny,
Thank you so much for the great music you played at our party on March 19th. Everyone loved the band! I got compliments all night about what great musicians you are. You were all great and I hoped you enjoyed the big support that the guests gave you with an encore at the end. Thanks so much.

Dear John and all the Dukes, 
I first heard your band two years ago when you to played at our synagogue's auction, then again last year. It was such a pleasure to hear you at the World Cafe Live last night. I brought a friend and she loved the band, too. I look forward to hearing you and dancing to your music many more times.
Best luck to you.

Drove from NYC to catch you guys at Warmdaddys and I would do it again in a heart beat! Great set! The new album is rightious and raw with it's heart in the right place. Keep it coming Dukes and Dutchess. Next album hook me up with "Dr. Feelgood", that one rattles me to the core! 

Peace and Love,


Ty and Kath in NYC
