DuPont Phillips
Michigan favorites Chris DuPont and Kylee Phillips met over a decade ago during a radio appearance for Ann Arbor’s 107.1 and became instant fans of one another. In the summer of 2021, after countless path crossings, Chris and Kylee finally learned each other’s material and discovered an incredible vocal blend and stage synergy. Since then, the duo has performed at treasured venues like The Ark (Ann Arbor, MI) and Evanston Space (Chicago, IL), shared stages with artists like May Erlewine, Vienna Teng and Steve Poltz and appeared at many events around the midwest including the Ann Arbor Summer Festival (main stage 2024), Blissfest (2025) and Folk Alliance Regional Midwest (official showcase artist 2024).
They released “Big Sky Sessions” - their first EP as a duo - in the spring of 2024 with another EP set for release in 2026.

MORE ABOUT CHRIS:
chrisdupontmusic.com
Chris DuPont is a Michigan native tunesmith, endlessly reimagining the indie/folk paradigm. With an unmistakable ethereal tenor, diverse guitar work, and a taste for the cinematic, DuPont steers the classic eloquence and lyricism of 70’s Americana into the iridescent haze of dream pop.
The unassuming vulnerability and intense presence of DuPont’s live performances have grown a dedicated following in the midwest and beyond, cementing him as a staple figure in Michigan’s folk scene. After years refining his craft through touring on his albums Outlier (hailed by music critics as a “life affirming devastator”) and Live in A2 (an award-winning love letter to Southeast Michigan), Chris returned to the writing table to create his most captivating and unflinching work to date, the LP “Floodplains.” This record became Chris’ pandemic passion project as the world closed down and made the production process solitary by necessity. The music that emerged is a sonic exploration of dream-state, lineage, personal upheaval, and re-grounding.
MORE ABOUT KYLEE:
kyleephillips.com
Kylee Phillips is a Michigan-native vocalist and songwriter of deeply self-exposing pop music. Armed with an arresting, emotive, laser-focused voice, and an unrivaled ear for hooks and melodic contour, Phillips has garnered cult-like acclaim in the midwest and beyond since her explosive debut EP Long Time Coming. The title is strangely apt, as Phillips was a beloved hidden gem in the Detroit scene for over a decade before materializing as a fresh face and urgent new presence in the indie/pop world.
Kylee’s anthemic, sonically dense songs alchemize the sincerity of a midwest heart with the prowess and unabashed indulgence usually reserved for coastal voices. Here listeners find the body-cleansing catharsis of femme-pop luminaries like Muna and Maggie Rogers, intertwined with the heartstring-pulling, hands-raised surrender of a worship conference. Every track makes equal space for the tears and the pulse-pounding we didn’t realize we needed so badly.
In a world with no shortage of self-help sad-babe pop, Phillips weaves together a sensual, articulate, and unpretentiously therapeutic soundtrack for the lives we live but can’t always verbalize. She lends us an experiential wisdom that could only come from a massive heart that’s seen a lot of garbage and emerged transformed and immovable.
