In the duo of Thorne Musica, Caroline King & Paul Kovac perform instrumental music from many European traditions, as well as from South & North America. Their common interest in melodies finds them exploring a world of music for tunes & songs to interpret with their unique instrumentation. They call it a “continental rendezvous”.
Caroline is a musician charmed and enchanted when the right melody hits her curious ear. A multi-instrumentalist and graduate of Berklee College of Music, she is also a sought-after accordion soloist for French Café music.
On banjo, guitar, violin and singing, Paul loves world traditions, and enjoys watching them intersect. As a young musician, he strived & succeeded to play with & learn his music first-hand from older musicians like Bill Monroe, Roy Clark, and Vassar Clements
