DC-based female acoustic duo, CommonbonD, is the dynamic and bipolar union of DC-native Mary Beth de Pompa and Southern-bred Ashley Miller. de Pompa's blues-edged soul-rock background and Miller's folk-pop stylings have combined to form a truly original sound that turns at once from sweety, lofty and lyrical to bluesy, soulful and raw.

Noted for tight harmonies, strong songwriting and impressive musicianship, these two, who trade off between lead vocal and lead guitar, can play... and not just for girls. Settle in for some Raitt-ful slide, B.B. blues, or jazzy lead a la Wood & Steel.

Since the union in 1992, CommonbonD has toured 34 states and a three foreign territories. They've aired on national television and hundreds of CMJ and AAA radio stations. They've won or been nominated for a host of industry awards, including Indie Band of the Year, Best Contemporary Folk Group, and Pop Song of the Year.

But, as a listener who cares about that? These girls put on a live show not to be missed. Energy, talent, humor and warmth. They'll have you listening, laughing and tapping.
