About
Paul LeCorre and Rich Leduc are LeDuo.
Two last names that start with “Le”,, hence… “Le”Duo…. Remove the quotes, just to make it easier… LeDuo. Yup, they are just that witty.
Paul has been playing guitar and singing in bands since the turn of the 16th century. Rich just started last week.
LeDuo is an acoustic-based (but not limited to) Montreal live act that encompasses cover music from the last 7 decades. With over 5000 years of music experience between them, they know a thing or two about music… somehow, nothing about the music business. But they’re learning!!
Lately, LeDuo has found themselves writing and recording a ton of material. The style is rooted in everything from rock to soul to folk to funk to blues… and labels are so passé. It’s real music, written by real, raw, and flawed human beings. No AI was used in writing nor recording any of the material they put out.
With extensive touring as well as sound engineering experience, Paul has the knowhow to make a small duo act seem large and sound very full. Paul has an extensive catalogue and has been writing and recording songs with bands and as a solo act, as mentioned, since the turn of the 16th century. The kinship that was formed with Rich when they started writing together was instant. The chemistry was strong and immediate. They both approach song writing and life, with an open mind and kindness that is infectious.
Rich was with The Cranes for the better part of 28 years, where he sang covers from Elvis Presley to Elvis Costello, to Neil Diamond, to AC/DC to Rage against the Machine. Diversity is a source of pride. They released original music, and have played shows across Canada as well as in several U.S. states.
Hopefully there is something for you in LeDuo’s first CD release entitled Rise.
Not all songs are conceived with a well thought-out idea. As the songs flow in and out of your consciousness, they often form out of an innate desire to just be blurted out, not always with reason, but sometimes with rhyme.
Ramblin’ started off with a title. “Cool pattern, any lyrical ideas?”… “No?! How about a title?”… “Ramblin’? Ok… let’s work with that.”
So, out blurted “I”, with “Alibi” and “Ramblin’ by”. From there it was just a question of what are we writing about. As the musical patterns formed, the rhyme continued, but needed a little more meaning. It became apparent that this was a story of potential betrayal. As it developed, the idea of betrayal was replaced with the concept of mistrust. As dangerous a mindset as betrayal, mistrust is more of a statement on the person who is so insecure, that he/she/they cannot seem to believe anything said by their partner. Once trust is lost, whether justified or not, everything becomes more difficult.
Adding Anthony’s congas and steel drums to the song gave it the polish it needed. We felt it deserved to be the first song on the CD as it really defined a difference in our normal approach to song writing and style in general.
