Chainsaw Dupont's "Delta Crush" blues incorporates the best of American music into danceable rhythms that sound classic and modern at the same time.

Chainsaw Dupont & the Blues Warriors have built a strong following in Chicago by swimming against the tide, performing original material rather than the slew of preferred "classic blues" covers that are favored on the touristy blues circuit. Updating the classic blues with modern sounds, they still retain the soulful underpinnings that have always made the blues work. Dupont, the former ace guitarist for Chicago legend Junior Wells, has made his mark and attracted some of the best young musicians in Chicago to his band. His following includes both traditional blues fans and others who appreciate the musicianship of the band. They're not a "jam band", but when this band locks in, they infuse both originals and occasional blues chestnuts with improvisational energy, and some sets have become legendary, extending as long as 2 hours, filling the dance floor.
