Joselyn Wilkinson and Don Barrozo, both Montana natives, met in Los Angeles in the early 2000’s while jamming in the Venice arts community, and soon learned they were soulmates. After years of performing in separate projects and raising a family, they found a new musical identity working together.

Joselyn & Don explore the crossroads of modern folk and soul through evocative songs planted firmly in American roots. Their debut album, “Soar,” takes the listener on an emotional journey through innocence lost to wisdom, and dreams deferred for something better. Joselyn’s soulful voice recalls both Laura Nyro’s soaring tones and Emmylou Harris’ country folk, while Don’s guitars play duet partner, at turns embodying outlaw twang, plaintive blues, and muscular rock. The music of “Soar” is essentially an acoustic duo, enhanced with lush textural layers and unexpected instrumentation, bringing to mind the fluid genre-hopping of artists like Yola and Michael Kiwanuka.

Joselyn is the founder of women’s global fusion band, ADAAWE, a festival favorite, with whom she plays percussion and sings. They have supported artists like Michael Franti and Ladysmith Black Mambazo and toured the U.S. numerous times. She previously released two albums of original music and toured throughout Southern California. Don, a multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer, also serves as film editor for long-running animated series, “The Simpsons.”

Joselyn & Don’s intimate live arrangements feature fingerpicked guitar, tenor ukulele and percussion, allowing Joselyn's voice to shine through with strength and vulnerability. The duo has performed live at regional events and venues with a warm and engaging show and opened for artists including Willie Watson and the Living Sisters. During the pandemic, they pivoted to performing high quality livestream shows from their home studio, which allowed them to continue creating community and supporting social and environmental causes. Keep up with them on their website for music and upcoming livestream shows.

Each song had its own quality and musical atmosphere that marked it as unique and original…Your voice effortlessly powers both delicate and strong feelings. - Ruth Gould-Goodman, author

Don Barrozo's instrumental compositions sit somewhere between the jazz fusion sounds of Weather Report and the sophistication of Steely Dan. A stellar band delivers crisp and and adventurous musical explorations led by Don's rich horn.
