About Me

Born in the irrigated desert of inland California, Phil DuPertuis developed a view of the world painted with the vibrant colors of the world's cultures, and the bleek disparity between newly birthed suburbs and old decaying agricultural fields. His songs, a mix of western folk and roots rock, present an altar on which the complexity of the world lies bare and still.Phil has moved from his childhood home in Clovis, CA to an artists' residence in New England to pursue this passion full time.
