Roberts and Barrand was a musical group formed in 1969 by John Roberts and Tony Barrand while they were graduate students in psychology at Cornell University.

The duo also performed as members of the four-man act Nowell Sing We Clear.
Tony Barrand died on 29 January 2022, at the age of 76. [2] John Roberts died on 3 February 2025, at the age of 80. [3]
