What to do on a Thursday...

I am very excited to start playing at Avanti in Verona on Thursdays from 8pm-12am. I'm looking forward to seeing all my friends from Verona, Fitchburg and SW Madison sitting around the baby grand! The pizza is great, so come on over and celebrate Life, Love and Thursday :)

A Little Afternoon Improvisation

I sat down today for a little songwriting, and decided to just let some piano inspiration flow. It was a lovely experience to just relax and melt into my instrument. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 100% improvised...

Pop (Request) Art!

I love doing a show with requests. It keeps me on my toes and helps tremendously with crowd interaction. Also, every once in a while, it lets the audience express a bit of their artistic side! Every week or so I get a request with a little something extra--a drawing, a joke, etc. I thought a great way to share them with you and to give the artist a little well-deserved (albeit anonymous) recognition would be to keep a photo album of the little masterpieces. You can find it here (or by clicking on the above photo). I'll be keeping it updated as the requests come in. See you at the next show!

Go Pack!!!

1/1/11

Are you looking for somewhere to watch the UW Badgers take on the TCU Horned Frogs on New Years Day? Look no further than Monk's in Baraboo. Stick around after the game, because Francie and I will be performing a victory concert! Great drink specials and free shots when Wisconsin scores. See you there!

On, Wisconsin!!

A Night of Original Music!

I am very excited to be joining forces once again with Madison songwriting legend, Michael Massey, for another night of original music at the Brink Lounge. Taking turns at the piano, Mike and I will be playing many of our favorite songs as well as some tunes that we've each only just written this year. Mike will also share a few songs from his Christmas album, "The Present." I have a feeling that a special guest will be there too, helping us bring these songs to you the way they were meant to be heard, Madison's own--vocalist Francie Phelps!

Come on out to the Brink and warm yourself with some great, local musicians, as well as some delicious drink specials at the Brink Lounge.

Home Sweet Home

I am so excited to be heading home to the Mississippi Gulf Coast for Thanksgiving. I get to see my family, and best of all, I'll be performing two shows in town. This will be my first time playing at home, and I can't wait to see all my old friends. The shows will be in downtown Gulfport at the new Watson's Piano Bar. The incomparable vocalist Francie Phelps will be joining me at the shows, and we'll be taking requests as well as performing a bunch of my original songs. I'd love to see you. Come on by!

The Josh Dupont Band's First Show

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Dry Bean last Friday! I had such a great time on stage, and it made all the difference in the world to see so many familiar faces out there. I recorded video of the whole show, and I am currently uploading the individual songs to YouTube. Keep an eye on my channel at http://www.youtube.com/pianojoshdupont for these videos and more. Here's a little taste...
