Here's the music:
Since August 2012, Dupond Dupont has toured the Midwest twice, the East Coast twice, France, Spain, Germany, and Austria, released three albums, and had the pleasure of playing with bands such as The Giving Tree Band, Matt Midgely, Dear Rabbit, Districts, and Cal Folger Day.
Dear Person reading this:
I am Marilu, I write the songs. In the band, I play the banjo and sing, though eventually I hope to incorporate a keyboard, seeing as that is the instrument as I play best. My friend, Wilson, plays the guitar. He has big plans to go do research in Antarctica sometime. He has been with me in the band for the longest time, since October 2012. Alissa joined the band next. She is also our biggest fan! She plays drums, violin, bass and if you request the song free bird, she will play guitar for you. Johnny is the newest and most committed band member. He plays bass, drums, and will sing at times too!

"Melody and disillusionment mesh seamlessly... Wanderlust drives Wiesner, and, above all, her music reflects this. It's a melancholy without being self-pitying, and contemplative without being preachy."-Jennifer Johnson, Arts and Entertainment Editor (The Round Table)
"Innocence and disappointment are themes Dupont Dupond harnesses and attacks with banjos, guitars, piano, and that clear, strong, youthful voice. Live, the songs are delivered with a theatricality that does justice to their themes. This isn't artifice--stories from the head of a young aspiring troubadour. This is a life, presented in music. Some of it's profound, some of it strange, and some of it mean." -Tyler Leeds
