The party begins at 9PM with a special 30-minute acoustic mini-set that features Dupont paying tribute to his heroes as well as performing his own originals, in an intimate solo setting. There will also be a drawing to win copies of Dupont's 2 brand-new live CDs, "Acoustifed/Electrified", and "The Real Guitar Hero". Every advance reserved ticket includes a coupon for $5 off any CD purchase. One lucky drawing winner will receive copies of the 2 CDs. At 10PM Chainsaw takes the stage with the Blues Warriors, for an "Electrified" set.

Dupont recently released the two live CDs, which neatly summarize his "Blues Street Trilogy", a series of 3 CDs released over a 4-year period, celebrating the blues styles of Chicago, New Orleans, and Memphis.
