Linda Duval and Cathy Speck are a folk-pop duo who perform occasionally around Davis coffee houses, the Farmers Market, and The Co-op. They often collaborate with other musicians in groups such as The Essentials and She 3.
Duval Speck have two albums, Green Eye, Blue Eye, released in 1998, and "Thanks For Waiting," released in 2008. You can buy both at The Co-op or contact them. They used to host the annual Women's Music Nite, where female singer/songwriters from all over come to showcase their talents. However, most of their activities have been greatly curtailed as Cathy has been battling ALS, otherwise known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. She blogs and sings about this (blog+song=blong) at her blong.
In November 2013, Duval Speck received the Harmony in Our Lives Award.
