Can You Duet is an American reality-competition show on CMT. The show is produced by FremantleMedia, the same company that produces American Idol.
The show premiered on April 14, 2008 and the first season ended on June 13, 2008.
Sixwire, runners up from Fox's Next Great American Band, performed as the house band for Can You Duet with Steve Mandile serving as the show's musical director. Two additional musicians, Steve Hornbeak on keyboards and Andrea Young on violin, performed with Sixwire during the show. The show has been cancelled and will not return for a third season.
The show was hosted by Rossi Morreale, and the judge panel was made up of Naomi Judd, Brett Manning, and Aimee Mayo.
The eight finalist duos for season one were:
Three of the season 1 finalists, Caitlin & Will, Kate & Kacey Coppola, and Joey + Rory, have signed record deals; Caitlin and Will with Columbia Nashville, Kate & Kacey with Big Machine, and Joey + Rory with Vanguard/Sugar Hill.
Caitlin & Will released their debut single, "Address in the Stars", on March 30, 2009. The single peaked at number 42 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and the duo subsequently broke up in October 2009 and their debut album went unreleased. Kate & Kacey released their debut single, "Dreaming Love", on April 27, 2009 via Big Machine. The single underperformed and the duo parted ways with Big Machine in early 2010 without releasing an album.
