Zack Dupont  is  a Richmond, VT-based independent songwriter, guitarist & producer. Poetic lyrical imagery, finger-style slide guitar with free form improvisation make each set unique in the moment. The duo, with longtime collaborator Matt DeLuca on percussion and synthesizer, can turn on a dime as far as musical styles go. All their influences are openly welcomed from americana-delta-blues to heavy world music rhythms and dreamlike, ethereal landscapes. Zack has been fortunate to share the stage with an array of national acts like Taj Mahal, Jerry Douglas, Julian Lage, Blake Mills, Pat Benatar, Suzanne Vega, Sturgill Simpson, Sam Amidon, The Suitcase Junket, Bahamas and Charlie Parr to name a few.
