Biography
TROUBADUO ~ Music with a Soul
Feeling a bit out of place in the L.A.'s pop scene, singer/songwriters Jill Marie & Bryson VanCleve formed a life companionship hitting the road full-time with their acoustics as the soul singing duo, Troubaduo. The two troubadours call the road their home touring 9 months per year and are one of the few independent artists continuing to follow their musical path without the help of a booking agency, management company, p.r., major record label, etc. Performing artistic rock, Americana, folk, blues, sunshine pop, soul and jazz, Troubaduo places their main emphasis on lyrics.
The duo also supports and has partnered with many non-profits including PreemptiveLove.org, a reputable non-profit that raises money and awareness for children whose bodies have been highly affected by chemical warfare. So many of these children need new hearts and Preemptive Love makes it possible for these children to live by finding affordable doctors and hospitals in various locations around the world. Troubaduo encourages everyone to check out Preemptive Love's current program at www.BuyShoesSaveLives.com.
