Mark Dupuy

pronounced "doo-PWEE" "Dupuy's music commands their attention..." (Charlotte Herald/Tribune)

 

Regardless of where you see Mark performing, you WILL be amazed at the content of his show. You'll hear songs and styles you've never heard before. You'll hear arrangements and medleys that full bands have difficulty playing. You'll marvel at the CD quality of the sound. And you'll remember his quirky sense of humor.

...Yes, there are a lot of Buffett guys out there with acoustic guitars. There are steel pan singles, where every song sounds the same. Mark takes it to the next level. Yes, it's Caribbean/tropical. Yes, there's plenty of Buffett. And a flute or a flugelhorn will appear out of nowhere. Besides being musically diverse, this act is visually intriguing. Bottom line, you're outdoors with this one-of-a-kind performer, where the results are anything but predictable. And for engagements of shorter durations in remote areas, this act is able to bring its own power packs, when there is no plug-in electricity.

...And again, a very unpredictable visual performance. The stage setting looks more like a music store, with the Gibson Howard Roberts guitar, the flugelhorn, the trumpet, the flute and the stage piano. And in certain situations, the steel pans appear, with modern jazz stylings given a totally new voice.  This act redefines the meaning of the word "cool."
