Description
Will Dupuy entertains the young and young-at-heart with children’s concerts and country music sets, whether it’s encouraging toddlers to jump around and shout out their favorite mode of transportation (Excavator!) as Mr. Will, or getting couples to two-step while singing along to original Americana tunes, as Will and the Wilderness. He has energized crowds for two decades with lively, toe-tapping, and often interactive music. Themes of Texas and conservation run throughout his family-friendly music. As a preschool teacher for over 10 years, he taps into the developmental and interactive aspects of raising kids with fun songs while showcasing a rambunctious spirit in live concerts for the under-seven crowd and now also a ‘tween’ show. The greatest charm of his shows is how the infectious melodies, combined with upbeat lyrics, get undeniably stuck in your head. However, some parents may recognize Will’s voice from his days touring with the South Austin Jug Band, Bruce Robison, Kelly Willis or Bob Schneider. That’s what music is all about, bringing people together and having fun, no matter the age. With the Wilderness, Will often trades an acoustic guitar for his signature upright bass while playing a mix of original tunes and genre-crossing hits. Photo by Nicola Gell.
