The Dupont Brothers are reunited – after years of geographical separation – by a resonant collaboration in music. Since the formation of the group in 2013, the Burlington, VT based indie-folk duo has been on the road, developing a large palette of material. Their versatile songwriting modes, blood harmonies and fingerstyle guitar arrangements have led them to be paired with a wide variety of national acts including Grace Potter, Sturgill Simpson, Langhorne Slim, Chris Thomas King, Howie Day, The Lone Bellow, Ben Sollee, Horse Feathers and Chris Eldridge and Julian Lage.
Their current CD, “Heavy as Lead” is a tale of a coming of age, embodying loss, love and hope as time perpetually unfolds. As the leaves turn orange and red and fall from their branches, this record resonates within your internal clock as you embrace each day with an open mind.
“Together the DuPont Brothers resonate at just the right frequency. There were moments that honestly gave me chills.”
– Dan Bolles, Seven Days VT
“It’s the essence of what stop-you-in-your-tracks music is suppose to do, which is shake you out of your day-to-day life like an old friend who wants you know everything will be ok, in time, as long as you never forget to believe in the endless possibilities of the cosmos.”
– Garret K. Woodward, Smoky Mountain News
“The debut LP from The DuPont Brothers is so pretty it hurts.” – Maeri Ferguson, The Horn
“With the DuPont Brothers, we take a step back, slow our pace right down and take one deep breath, heart rate sliding down the scale as our thoughts climb through the murky path into our mind’s eye and away from the shallow chatter of everyday life. ‘Heavy As Lead’ takes us on a journey, one that is directed by emotion and mood, and guided by prose. The lyrics are perhaps as flowery as the music, poetry the basis for the construction of the tracks and a story clouded in ambiguity unfolding with each step.”
– Vickye, For the Country Record
