Avid lyricist and “think piece” composer Chris DuPont hails from the quirky and eclectic Ypsilanti, Michigan, and is a seasoned veteran of the midwest music scene. His hybrid finger-style approach to guitar-playing is a nod to classical minimalism, but sure to get you nodding your head too. Chris is influenced by a wide range of artists and composers from Philip Glass to Tycho, from James Taylor to Ryan Adams to Oh Wonder.

Today, Chris has released new music off his forthcoming album and you can hear it tonight at this special hometown show! Says Chris: "Today I’m elated, slightly nerve-wracked, mostly relieved. In advance of my new record (arriving January), I’ve released “Sandpaper Hymn,” a short three-song teaser EP. If “Retrieve” was me and my musical support team at our finest and most energetic, these songs are me at my most vulnerable and explorative. I love the sounds and hope you will too.".
