Make Music Ann Arbor

Lucky 17

Lucky 17, a dynamic duo comprising Caroline Barlow and Ed Dupas, merges the soulful sounds of Americana, folk, and roots music into harmonious synergy. Based in Michigan, this band showcases the collaborative spirit of two seasoned artists who bring their individual strengths and unique voices to create a rich, melodic tapestry. Caroline Barlow, originally from Petoskey, Michigan, has dedicated over two decades to studying and performing folk and roots music. Known for her roles in various Michigan-based collaborations and her work as an Artistic Director, Caroline’s voice has been likened to icons like Gillian Welch and Mary Chapin Carpenter. Her deep appreciation for community and the arts profoundly influences her music. Ed Dupas, residing in Ann Arbor, brings a blend of country, blues, rock, and poetry to the duo. With a background shaped by the diverse cultural landscapes of Houston and Winnipeg, Ed's music is a testament to his reflective lyrics and complex musical compositions.
