Chris DuPont

Genre: Alternative Folk, Singer-Songwriter, Americana

Michigan native tunesmith Chris DuPont steers the classic eloquence and lyricism of ‘70s Americana into the iridescent haze of dream pop. With effortless guitar work, an ear for the cinematic, and vulnerable yet intense live performances, DuPont has grown a dedicated following in the Midwest and beyond. DuPont has spent years refining his craft on albums like Outlier (hailed by music critics as a “life-affirming devastator”), Live in A2 (an award-winning love letter to our own Southeast Michigan), and Floodplains, an introspective sonic journey through dream-states, lineage, personal upheaval, and re-grounding. With each release, he’s upped the stakes, delivering songs about love and loss that pull no punches. His latest songs include the indie rock ballad “Holding it Together” and pensive musings of “Forgiveness.” Come experience DuPont’s reimagining of the indie/folk paradigm yourself, live at A2SF this summer.
